Dried limes are perfect for adding to your cocktails, cakes or simply for making a good herbal tea. They are a very good source of fiber, calcium, iron and potassium. The limes come from Brazil and Mexico depending on availability.
Lime is the bitter and acidic fruit of a variety of lime trees. Lime refers rather to a variety whose fruit has a sweet flavor. The lime tree comes from the Indian archipelago where it grows wild. The first written mention of lime dates back to the 13th century and is by an Arab author. As is the case for lemon, it was probably the Arabs who introduced its cultivation in India, Persia, Palestine, Egypt and Europe.
