FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long do lime slices last in the fridge?
Freshly cut lime slices typically last 3 to 5 days when stored in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the refrigerator.
Can you freeze lime slices?
Yes, you can freeze them. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. They are best used for flavoring drinks.
How do I pick the best lime for slicing?
Choose limes that are heavy for their size, have smooth skin, and are slightly soft when squeezed, as these are usually the juiciest.
What is a good substitute for lime slices?
Lemon slices are the closest substitute. For a different citrus profile, you can use calamansi or thin slices of orange.
Should I wash limes before slicing?
Yes, always wash the exterior of the lime thoroughly under running water, as the knife will pull any surface bacteria through the flesh when slicing.
Why do my lime slices taste bitter?
The bitterness usually comes from the white pith (the layer between the skin and the flesh) or if the lime is overripe or has been sitting out too long.
How many slices are in one medium lime?
A medium lime typically yields about 6 to 8 standard rounds or 8 to 10 thin slices depending on the thickness of the cut.
