Lime, weight, ~ 1 kg

Lime is a juicy fruit from the citrus family native to India, which has a delicate pulp with a bitter taste. The skin is thin, yellow-green or green in color. The pulp is juicy, tender and well-granulated. Outwardly it is similar to lemon, but unlike it it has slightly different valuable and taste qualities. Due to the high content of vitamin C, this product is widely used in both therapeutic and dietary nutrition. This is due to the fact that ascorbic acid helps dissolve fats and remove them from the body, strengthen immunity and neutralize bad cholesterol. In addition, it is very useful for acute respiratory viral infections, since it accelerates the healing process. Thanks to phosphorus and calcium, lime can protect teeth from harmful deposits and tooth decay, as well as prevent gum bleeding. The pectin contained in its composition helps to remove toxic substances from the body. Lime juice improves collagen production, increasing both elasticity and firmness of the skin. Those who are not allowed to use fresh citrus juice can appreciate the dried fruit, which also contains many vitamins, minerals and trace elements. In cooking, lime fruits are used mainly to add acid and refreshing aroma to food and drinks. Often they are diluted with marinades and sauces for meat and fish, dressing salads with fruits and vegetables, and also flavor various pastries. Beautifully cut zest can be used to decorate pastries and cocktails. The inclusion of lime in the diet will significantly improve the digestion process, since its pulp and juice contribute to the production of digestive juices and bile.
