Mexican Limes
Choose options
Fresh limes (Citrus × latifolia) air-freighted from Mexico — the world's largest lime-producing nation. These are Persian limes, the variety professional kitchens rely on for their consistent juice yield, clean acidity and seedless flesh. Air-freighting rather than sea-shipping preserves the fruit at its firmest and most aromatic, with noticeably brighter flavour and higher juice content than limes that have spent weeks in cold-chain transit.
The Persian lime is the workhorse citrus of any serious kitchen. Its balanced acidity — sharp but not harsh — makes it indispensable across cuisines: squeezed over ceviche and grilled seafood, muddled into cocktails, stirred through Thai curries and Mexican salsas, or zested into dressings and marinades. The smooth, thin rind zests cleanly and the seedless flesh gives nothing but juice. Roll firmly under the palm before cutting to release the maximum amount.
