Fresh Key Limes (3 LB)

Fresh Key Limes Grown in the Florida Keys

Key limes, also known as Mexican limes or West Indies limes, are small, spherical citrus fruits that thrive in tropical and subtropical regions. While regular limes typically have a thick, bright green skin, key limes are distinguished by their thinner rind. As they ripen, key limes transition from a dark green hue to a yellowish-green color.

Compared to their standard lime counterparts, key limes tend to be smaller in size but pack a more intense, tart flavor profile. Their distinctive aroma is often described as highly aromatic, despite containing more seeds than regular limes. This unique combination of tartness and fragrance makes key lime juice a popular choice for enhancing the flavors of marinades, limeade, and garnishes for drinks and dishes.

In addition to their use in beverages and as a seasoning, key lime juice is a prized ingredient for syrups and the iconic key lime pie. The product details for these fresh key limes are as follows:
