Many people have a general list of food items and ingredients that they buy regularly to have in stock at home.

If your version of this list doesn’t contain limes, then here are three reasons to start adding them to it.

Limes have such a unique flavor and add so much flavor and zing. Whether you’re making a tasty stir-fry sauce or are planning to make a variety of salsas and dips for a tapas-style meal, having limes on hand to squeeze some freshness into your recipes will be a game-changer. 

Create Some Exciting Desserts

Lime is such a versatile flavor and is so often used in many savory dishes, but is great in sweet contexts too. For example, a simple lime sorbet is a simple but sure way to impress guests.

Use as a Garnish 

Whether you’re having friends over for some cocktails or you’ve cooked a fancy meal for date night, having some limes around to slice up as a garnish is a great way to add some appealing color and flavor to so many foods and drinks.

Mexico, as a country, is lime crazy. Ranking second in the world in the production of limes, these little green fruits, known as “limones” in the local dialect of Spanish, are found in all kinds of different foods and drinks throughout the territory. 

Here are three ways in which limes are utilized in Mexican gastronomy.

Taco Garnish

If you are served a plate of tacos in Mexico, odds are that you will receive a heap of lime slices along with them. It’s common to squeeze lime juice on top of all kinds of tacos, including those served al pastor, with steak, and with carnitas.

Lime Paletas

Paletas are the Mexican version of a popsicle. One of the most popular types of paletas that are enjoyed in Mexico is the lime paleta, which is a mixture of water, lime juice, and sugar frozen onto a stick. They are perfect for hot days.
