Citrus Aurantiifolia

The lime, from the scientific name Citrus aurantiifolia, is a citrus fruit of the Rutaceae family. It is a 4-5 meters tall tree whose fruits are small, oval or round and with a thin skin; to reach a kilogram of weight you need about thirty. If they are left to ripen on the tree, they take on a yellow to slightly orange colour, but are usually picked while still green, when they offer maximum flavor and are juiciest. The pulp is very fragrant and very sour, as it contains up to 6% citric acid. Lime prefers the climate of the tropics. That is why it is the only plant of its kind that is almost unknown in the Mediterranean Sea (except in Egypt). His homelands are Malaysia and India. Today, the lime is mainly grown in Southeast Asia, Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean.
