Key limes are packed with Vitamin C and antioxidants, boosting immunity, improving skin (collagen), aiding digestion (fibre), supporting heart health, preventing kidney stones (citrate), enhancing iron absorption, fighting infections, and potentially reducing chronic disease risk, offering anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and antibacterial properties. They're hydrating, low in calories, and rich in compounds that protect cells from damage, contributing to overall wellness from immune defence to bone health.
Culinary suggestions...
Key lime is a great ingredient to use in marinades, drinks like limeade and iced tea, as a garnish, and in tons of recipes because of its fresh, citrusy scent and unique, acidic flavour. You can zest the rind and/or squeeze the juice over fish and seafood, or use it to brighten up stir-fries and curries.
