Citrus × latifolia
Citrus × latifolia, commonly known as the Persian lime or Tahiti lime, is a hybrid citrus fruit. It is characterized by its round shape, green skin, and juicy, acidic flesh. This fruit is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions and is popular for its culinary uses, particularly in beverages and marinades.
The Persian lime tree is evergreen, reaching heights of up to 6 meters. It produces fragrant white flowers and is often grown in home gardens and commercial orchards. This lime variety is seedless and typically harvested when it is still green, although it can turn yellow when overripe.
