Persian Lime Plant (Citrus Latifolia)

The Persian lime is a remarkable citrus fruit renowned for its vibrant flavor and versatility in culinary applications. It is believed to have originated from the warm regions of Iran, hence its name, and it has become a beloved staple in cuisines around the world.

This lime has smooth, thin, and bright green skin and when sliced open, its juicy and acidic flesh releases a refreshing burst of citrus aroma. The tangy flavor of the Persian lime strikes a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, making it a favorite ingredient for cocktails, dressings, marinades, desserts, and countless other culinary creations.

With proper care and favorable growing conditions, this small to medium-sized evergreen tree can thrive and provide a bountiful harvest of tangy limes.
