lime

Lime is a tangy and sour green fruit. It is widely used in cocktails and cooking.

Limes are smaller and sourer than lemons. They are an essential ingredient in famous cocktails like mojitos and margaritas. It is also frequently used in Mexican cuisine.

Limes are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, making them good for your health. They are especially cultivated in tropical regions and add a sweet and sour flavor to drinks and dishes.

In the 16th century, British sailors consumed limes during their voyages to prevent scurvy. Because of this historical background, the British were sometimes called "Limeys." Today, limes have become an indispensable ingredient in cuisines and cocktail cultures around the world.
