Read on the difference between limes and lemons?
Both limes and lemons descend from the citron (Citrus medica) and one other parent each, so they are effectively half-siblings. The easiest way to distinguish between these two citrus fruits is by their colour. In contrast to lemons, ripe lime fruits are green. Depending on the variety and growing conditions, limes can also have a yellow tinge, but they only ever turn completely yellow once overripe. In terms of shape, lemons are usually oval and have a protruding “nose”, whereas limes are round.
Despite their smaller size, limes usually contain more juice and are also a little zestier in taste than lemons. Due to their high juice content, limes are also more often used for making juice and syrup than lemons. In terms of nutrients, the two fruits have roughly the same amount of vitamin C, while lemons contain roughly twice as much potassium. In comparison to lemons, most lime varieties are much more sensitive to cold and have a shorter shelf life.
