Fresh Lime Juice

Fresh lime juice is the tangy, vibrant liquid extracted from limes. It offers a bright, citrusy flavor that enhances both savory and sweet dishes.

Notes

Always roll limes on a hard surface before juicing to maximize yield. Fresh lime juice is more aromatic and flavorful than bottled varieties.
