    The Tahiti lime, also known as Persian lime, Creole lemon, Persian lemon, Mesin lemon or seedless lemon, is about 6 cm in diameter, often with slightly pointed ends. It is usually sold green, although when fully ripe it is yellow. It is larger, with a thicker skin and less acidic and aromatic than the sour lime (Citrus × aurantifolia), which is the most widely cultivated lime worldwide.



    Properties and Benefits of the Tahitian lime

    • High vitamin C content, as it has 33% of the recommended daily intake.
    • Powerful antioxidant and combats damage caused by free radicals.
    • Helps to strengthen the immune system, being an ally to fight colds and infections.
    • Promotes the absorption of iron and contributes to the creation of collagen.
