About Sweet lime

Sweet lime is a citrus fruit with a greenish to yellow rind and pale, juicy segments. Compared with many familiar limes, its juice is generally mild and low in sharp acidity, with a faintly sweet, sometimes lightly bitter flavour.

It is eaten fresh or used for juice and other citrus preparations. Whole fruit, squeezed juice, and bottled juice are distinct forms; bottled products may be filtered or contain added ingredients, and fruit flavour varies with variety and ripeness.
