A tart, aromatic citrus fruit essential to Mexican, Thai, Vietnamese, and Indian cuisines. Lime juice adds bright acidity that lifts and balances flavors in everything from curries to cocktails.
Roll on the counter before juicing for more juice. Use both juice and zest — the zest has concentrated citrus oils. Essential in guacamole, pad Thai, ceviche, and margaritas. Squeeze over finished dishes just before serving.
