COOKING TIPS
In the kitchen.
- 1Best consumed as fresh juice, often with a pinch of salt or black salt to enhance its flavor.
- 2Add segments to fruit salads, green salads, or yogurt for a mild, sweet citrus flavor without the intense tartness of regular limes.
- 3Use the juice as a gentle marinade for fish or chicken, as its lower acidity tenderizes without 'cooking' the protein as aggressively as lemon or lime juice.
- 4The zest can be used in baking or to flavor dressings, but be aware it can be more bitter than other citrus zests.
STORAGE
Keep it fresh.
- Store whole sweet limes at room temperature for up to one week.
- For longer storage (2-4 weeks), place them in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator.
- Freshly squeezed juice should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within 24-48 hours to prevent bitterness and nutrient loss.
