Limes are sour, round, and bright green citrus fruits.
They’re nutritional powerhouses — high in vitamin C, antioxidants, and other nutrients.
There are many species of limes like the Key lime (Citrus aurantifolia), Persian lime (Citrus latifolia), desert lime (Citrus glauca) and kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix).
Because limes are loaded with nutrients, they may help boost your immunity, reduce heart disease risk factors, prevent kidney stones, aid iron absorption, and promote healthy skin.
