🔪 How to Prepare Fresh Limes

Fresh Limes require very little preparation.

1. Wash thoroughly under cool running water.
2. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
3. Slice in half for juicing.
4. Cut into wedges or rounds for drinks and garnishes.
5. For zest, finely grate only the green outer layer.
6. Avoid grating deeply into the white pith, which can taste bitter.
7. Remove seeds where necessary.

🍈 Handy Tip

Before cutting, roll the Lime firmly against your worktop using the palm of your hand. This can help soften the fruit and make it easier to squeeze.
