Preparation/Serving/Suggestions

Sweet, yet tart, limes are wonderful in refreshing drinks, exquisite desserts and flavorful salad dressings. To get the most juice from the limes, keep at room temperature for one hour before squeezing; one medium lime contains approximately ¼ cup of juice. Sprinkling lime juice on sliced apples, avocados, bananas and pears prevents discoloring, while serving a wedge of lime with papayas and other tropical fruits highlights their subtle flavor.
