Mexican Lime

A tier

Mexican lime is the trade name for small seedy acid limes (C. aurantiifolia) grown extensively in Mexico for domestic salsa culture and export as Key-type fruit. Aroma and sharp juice drive guacamole, tacos, and micheladas. Yellowing indicates full ripeness; markets often sell green for tartness perception. Always prefer fresh-squeezed over bottled for Mexican table salsas. Zest boosts marinades. Size means more fruit per cup of juice—plan prep labour.
