Today, we’re going to talk about a fruit called the West Indies Lime. It’s as lively and zesty as the Caribbean Sea itself. This little green ball of sunshine packs a big flavour punch, and it’s a key ingredient in our own hard seltzers, Vibe Island Drinks. So let’s grab a glass and jump in!
What is the West Indies Lime?
The West Indies Lime, also called the Key Lime, is a small, sour citrous fruit that is native to the Caribbean and parts of Central and South America. The fruit is a small, green ball with a thin, yellow-green skin. It tastes very sour and is prized for that.
This lime is much smaller and sourer than the larger, sweeter Persian limes you might find at your local grocery store. This makes it a great addition to both sweet and savoury foods.
The History of the West Indies Lime
The West Indies Lime has been around for a long time and has a long and interesting history. Its roots can be found in the Caribbean and Central America. In the 16th century, Spanish explorers were the first to bring the fruit to Europe. It quickly became popular as a key ingredient in many sweet and savoury dishes.
The lime is thought to have been brought to the United States by settlers in the 19th century. It is now a common ingredient in southern cooking, especially in key lime pie.
The Flavor of the West Indies Lime
The West Indies Lime tastes like no other citrous fruit. It has a bright, tart flavour that no other citrous fruit can match. The fruit is very sour, but it also has a slight sweetness that makes it a great addition to both sweet and savoury dishes.
Whether you squeeze fresh lime juice over grilled fish or mix it into a cool margarita (or a Caribbean Hard Seltzer), the West Indies Lime will give any dish a bright, tangy flavour.
