Tahiti

A tier

Tahiti lime is another market name for the large seedless Persian lime complex—same culinary role as Persian/Bearss with Pacific naming history. Juice is abundant, seeds rare, aroma moderate. Global English usage toggles among Tahiti, Persian, and Bearss labels. Bar and kitchen default acid green citrus. Use zest for milder lime oil than Key. Avoid confusing with small calamansi or Key types in recipes.
