Lime

Lime is a small, tart citrus fruit used worldwide to add bright acidity to drinks, marinades, dressings and many cuisines from Southeast Asia to Latin America. Commonly sold whole or as wedges, it is prized for its sharp flavor and fragrant zest. Nutritionally, Lime is an excellent source of vitamin C with about 29.05mg per 100g and also provides a modest amount of dietary fiber; it is very low in fat and calories, so a little goes a long way for adding flavor without extra energy. Because of its high vitamin C content and fiber, Lime can help enhance iron absorption from plant foods and contribute antioxidant benefits; its low energy density also makes it a handy way to boost flavor and micronutrients in dishes without adding fat or sugar.
