Persian Lime
Colombian limes, commonly known as Tahiti limes or Persian limes, are prized for their vibrant flavor, excellent juice content, and consistent year-round availability.
Grown in Colombia’s ideal tropical climate with abundant sunlight and fertile soils, these limes develop a smooth green skin, firm texture, and a refreshing balance of acidity and sweetness.
Limes are a versatile citrus fruit that can be enjoyed in many ways, adding a bright, refreshing flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. While they are rarely eaten whole due to their strong acidity, their juice and zest are widely used to enhance foods and beverages.
Fresh juice: Squeeze lime juice over fruits, seafood, tacos, or salads for a burst of citrus flavor.
Drinks: Add lime juice to water, juices, cocktails, or smoothies for a refreshing twist.
Zest: The outer peel can be grated to add aromatic citrus flavor to desserts, marinades, and sauces.
Cooking: Use lime juice in marinades, dressings, ceviche, and tropical dishes.
Garnish: Lime wedges are often served with beverages or meals to add fresh citrus flavor.
Room Temperature: Store limes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. They will stay fresh for about 3–5 days.

Cut Limes: Wrap cut limes tightly in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Use within 2–3 days for best freshness.
