Selection: Limes are typically round or oval and range from 3 to 6 cm (1.2 to 2.4 inches) in diameter. They are usually bright green when unripe and turn yellowish-green as they mature. The interior is juicy and segmented, with a pale green to yellowish color.

Preparation: Limes are used to flavor foods and beverages, including limeade, cocktails, marinades, and desserts. The acidic nature of lime juice makes it a natural cleaning agent. Limes are often used in preserving foods, such as in making pickles and chutneys.
