Many people think lemon and lime are the same fruit. In fact, although they are related, their taste, appearance, and benefits differ noticeably.
Lemon is the most common yellow fruit on our tables. Its taste is more sour, it has more juice, and is mostly added to tea. It is rich in vitamin C, strengthens the immune system, and helps during colds.
Lime, on the other hand, is usually green, smaller in size, and has a slightly more bitter and sharper taste. It is popular in tropical regions and is often used in cocktails, salads, and seafood dishes. Lime is also rich in vitamin C, but compared to lemon, it has stronger essential oils, making it more aromatic.
Both lemon and lime are healthy. The difference is that lemon is familiar and “ordinary” to us, while lime is an exotic fruit that adds a special flavor to dishes.
