The Lime Lowdown

It's called "lime caviar" by its fans; its tiny capsules burst with a crunchy zing.

The familiar grocery-store variety is also known as a Tahiti lime.

Many citrus connoisseurs feel this golf-ball-size lime gives the best juice.

This orange fruit is actually an acid mandarin from India with a lime flavor.

The intensely fragrant leaves and bumpy fruit are used in Southeast Asian cuisine.

Use this small, tart fruit rind and all, as you would its cousin the kumquat.
