Organic non-air freighted limes are super-rare, so when we manage to get hold of some we get very excited! Our limes come from a variety of small producers, depending on the time of year and availability. Some come from Corsica, others from the Dominican Republic and Egypt. Lime juice is a key ingredient to many South-East Asian and Mexican dishes, and its zest is particularly fragrant. Limes are indispensable when making delicious tangy cocktails - Mojito anyone?
Like most citrus fruits, limes are excellent sources of vitamin C.

Lime juice and zest can replace lemon juice or zest in most recipes. Slices of lime are great in cool drinks. Limes will keep for quite a long time in your fruit bowl. If you are using half at a time, cover the end in plastic and keep in the fridge.
