The difference between limes and key limes (and how to pick out good ones!) 💚🤗💚

That key lime nice-cream sounds amazing yet so simple. I will definitely make it this week, thank you for the suggestion!

So I see you are buying a bag of mostly green limes. Why would you do that? Do they continue to ripen over time? And thank you for the info, good thing to know.

Great information. I wanted to purchase a Persian lime tree but I can only find key lime trees in my area right now. I’ll be buying the key lime tree due to your useful knowledge. Thanks!

Omg, I just shopped there last week and saw the keylime, but didn't get them because was not sure what to make with them!
Can you please post a recipe for the keylime pie? Would love to try it!! ❤
Also I saw a bag of 5-6 mangosteen, which is something I have never tried.. they cost $35, but I was not sure how to tell if they were ripe or not so I didn't buy it.
I asked one of the employees if they would sell me singles, but they said they can't so I skipped it.
Foodtown has great variety of produce and good prices (you just need to get over the smell of the store when you enter lol)
Got amazing fresh Guabanana that tasted like a bubble gum 😊

Those key limes aren't ripe, they turn completely yellow when fully ripe. Store bought key limes are picked way too early, they're much better when you grow them yourself and let them completely ripen all the way yellow on the tree.

Yum from Australia 💜☀️
Lime juice or while peeled limes blended??

I'm always adding a lime (or two)to apple, orange, and grape juice to give it that extra zing

I have never had key limes 😢. I haven’t seen them here in NY

I'm getting limes today too, I was out

Nice to know but an alkaline lime? 😅 I'm pretty sure citrus should be sour. Also doesn't make a difference once anything alkaline hits your stomachs extreme sour ph. Our body knows how to eat different foods, ph is not a matter of healthiness.
