Lime juice
Lime juice is a popular food ingredient that comes from limes, which are small, green citrus fruits. Limes belong to the citrus family and are known for their tangy and refreshing flavour. Lime juice is commonly used in cooking and baking to add a zesty kick to dishes.
To make lime juice, limes are first harvested when ripe. They are then squeezed to extract the liquid, which is the lime juice. Sometimes, the juice is further processed to remove any pulp or seeds, resulting in a smooth and concentrated liquid that can be easily added to recipes.
Lime juice appears on food labels because it provides a burst of citrus flavour to dishes, balancing sweetness and adding freshness. It is often used in salad dressings, marinades, cocktails, and desserts like key lime pie. Lime juice can also act as a natural preservative, helping to enhance the shelf life of certain foods like salsas and guacamole.
