The Tahiti lime, also known as the Persian lime, is a popular citrus fruit characterized by its round shape and bright green skin. It is larger than the Key lime and has a juicy, tangy flavor that is less acidic. This variety is commonly used in cooking, cocktails, and desserts, making it a staple in many kitchens around the world. Originating from the Southeast Asia region, the Tahiti lime is now widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates. It thrives in well-drained soil and requires plenty of sunlight. The fruit is typically harvested when it is still green, and it is available year-round in most markets.
