limes
Tart green fruits
Limes are small green citrus fruits, more sour than lemons and essential to many cuisines—key lime pie, ceviche, gin and tonic.
The juice brightens dishes and drinks: Squeeze some lime over the tacos.
Like lemons, limes suggest tartness and freshness.
A lime is also the linden tree, and lime or quickite is calcium oxide used in cement and agriculture.
