Lime juice

Description

Lime juice has a bright, greenish hue and a clear consistency, with an intensely sour, fresh taste featuring citrusy, slightly floral notes and a mild bitterness in the finish. It is low in calories, rich in vitamin C and polyphenols, providing antioxidants that support immunity, strengthen the skin, and facilitate iron absorption; citric acid aids digestion and may help prevent kidney stone formation with moderate consumption. In the kitchen, lime juice perfectly balances fatty and sweet flavors, and is used in marinades, dressings, ceviche, sauces, desserts, and cocktails as a finishing touch that adds freshness. Store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container and use it within 2–3 days for the best freshness; it can also be portioned and frozen in cubes for several months.
