Description
Fresh Lime (Limau Nipis), also known as Key Lime, is a small citrus fruit with a thin green skin, juicy flesh and a sharp, zesty flavour. Its fresh citrus aroma and acidity make it a versatile ingredient for Southeast Asian cooking, drinks, sauces, marinades and dressings.
Physical Characteristics
-
Size: Small to medium, round citrus fruit measuring 1.5 to 2 inches (3.5 to 5 cm) in diameter.
-
Skin & Surface: Smooth, thin, glossy deep-green skin that gradually lightens to a yellowish-green hue as it reaches peak maturity.
-
Flesh & Seeds: Translucent, pale yellowish-green segmented pulp packed with plump juice sacs and small, pale seeds.
-
Texture: Firm, tender, and smooth-skinned, yielding easily to gentle pressure when ripe and bursting with abundant juice upon squeezing.
Growth and Origin
-
Native Habitat: Native to tropical Southeast Asia, where it thrives in warm, sun-drenched environments with high humidity.
-
Cultivation & Sourcing: Farmed extensively on low-lying citrus orchards in tropical regions, harvested at peak juice yield while the rind remains firm and vibrant green to guarantee maximum tartness and extended shelf life.
How to Use
Fresh lime has a sharp, sour and zesty flavour that adds a refreshing citrus taste to a variety of dishes. Squeeze fresh lime juice over noodles, grilled meats, seafood and other savoury dishes, or use it in sambal, marinades, dipping sauces and soups such as Tom Yam and Soto. Lime juice also complements the flavours of seafood and meat in marinades. For drinks, add lime juice to iced lime tea, sirap limau or chilled honey water. Fresh lime slices and wedges can also be used as garnishes or added to drinks for extra citrus flavour.
Nutritional Benefits
Fresh lime is a source of vitamin C, which supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant-based foods. It also contains small amounts of other nutrients and naturally occurring plant compounds. Adding fresh lime juice to meals and drinks is an easy way to enjoy its bright citrus flavour as part of a balanced diet.
Storage Method
Store fresh limes in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, keep them refrigerated in the refrigerator and use them while they are fresh and firm.
