Here are some simple tips for getting the most out of lime juice.
First of all, it is important to note that lime belongs to the same family as lemon (Rutaceae), but the lime tree (the plant that gives its name to the small green fruits we are talking about) is purely tropical and its fruits are harvested when they are still green and particularly juicy.

But let’s now turn to the possible uses of lime juice in the preparation of sweet and savoury recipes.

– Lime juice is perfect for marinades with paprika and extra virgin olive oil before grilling or barbecuing meat.
– If you are preparing fish dishes, from sautéed mussels to baked fish, lime is a valid alternative to common lemon.
– Lime juice is perfect for making couscous more full-bodied and aromatic and goes perfectly with salmon and avocado.

- Lime juice is essential in the preparation of guacamole (so we are always talking about avocados).
- Use lime juice to season and marinate tuna tartare, salmon or prawns.
- Another way to make the most of lime juice is to use it in granitas, which are particularly intense, and in ice creams that need a fresh, acidic note (perfect in combination with white chocolate or ginger, for example).
- Lime juice is also essential for preparing the most famous summer cocktails, such as mojitos and Moscow mules.

Have fun and experiment with all the possible ways to use lime juice and add a fresh and intense note to your best recipes, thanks to freshly squeezed lime juice that is preserved throughout the year using the cold chain to preserve its best characteristics and aromatic notes.
