Lime wedges are small, triangular pieces cut from a lime, a green citrus fruit known for its tangy flavor. Typically, a lime is sliced into quarters or eighths to create these wedges, which are often used as a garnish or flavor enhancer in various dishes and beverages. In cooking and mixology, lime wedges add a burst of acidity and freshness. They are commonly served with Mexican dishes, cocktails like Margaritas, and seafood. The juice from the wedges can be squeezed over food or drinks to enhance taste, making them a versatile ingredient in many culinary traditions.
