Whole Fruit
Whole-fruit lime means intact citrus kept sealed for storage, display, or last-minute prep—distinct from halves already opened for service. Recipes that call for “1 lime” mean this form: you still decide whether to zest, juice, or wedge. Leave fruit whole until needed so peel oils and juice stay trapped. Caterers stage whole limes by size count for bar and kitchen stations. Once cut, juice and aroma fade quickly; whole fruit is the only practical form for multi-day mise en place.
