General Usage Ideas

  • Lime juice and wedges accent a wide range of beverages, glazes, cocktails, guacamoles, and salad dressings.
  • Use in ceviches, crudos, and poke recipes—they are also the star ingredient of Peruvian super sauce, leche de tigre.
  • Add a pleasantly sour bite to cakes, cookies, puddings, scones, and curds.

Fall / Winter Usage Ideas:

  • Limes are integral to many Mexican dishes, including tortilla soup, corn con crema, fresh salsa, and street tacos.
  • Add moisture and flavor to roasted fish (think Branzino, snapper, and sea bass) with lime juice, fresh ginger, and tamari.
  • Creamy lime-cilantro dressing works well with salads or as a meat and vegetable marinade.

Spring / Summer Usage Ideas:

  • Toss sweet corn, grape tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and chopped jalapeno chile peppers; serve with burgers and sandwiches.
  • Stir together pureed strawberries, chia seeds, lime juice, and zest; chill until thickened—great as a breakfast bowl or dessert.
  • Puree coconut milk, lime juice and pulp, and pineapple chunks; freeze in paleta molds—add tequila for an adult dessert!
