Limes
In my opinion limes are the best of the citrus varieties. The lime fruit flavor is superb with fish, in curries, in drinks, in cakes and in marmalade. Limes are a great substitute for lemons – a tastier alternative.
I recommend 3 different limes for your place:
1. The common Tahitian lime that is like a green lemon
2. The Kaffir lime whose leaves you use in Thai cooking
3. The Aussie finger lime which produces caviar-like lemon spheres.
The fruit from the Kaffir limes produces an excellent juice and the skin or zest is excellent when grated off.
Excess lime juice can be put into ice cube trays, frozen and stored for later use.
