| Limes are thin-skinned, glossy-green to yellow in colour, with beautiful green flesh. Round to almost egg-shaped, about 5cm long and have a small point at one end. Inside, the flesh is divided into segments by very thin membranes; each segment containing hundreds of little translucent bags which hold the juice. Limes have an attractive scent and tangy acid flavour. Like all citrus fruit theyre rich in vitamin C. 100ml of their juice has 47mg of vitamin C. Also a good source of pectin, a type of soluble fibre. In some studies, soluble dietary fibre has been shown to help reduce blood cholesterol. Very low in sugars which is why they taste sour. 100g has 120kJ and only 1g of natural sugar (for comparison 100g orange has 8g sugar). |
