While many people associate limes with their green color, ripe limes can be yellow or light green. The color is an indicator of ripeness, but both green and yellow limes are perfectly safe and good to eat or juice.
Here's a breakdown:
- Green Limes: Light green limes are common and perfectly fine to eat.
- Yellow Limes: Yellow limes are generally the sweetest and ripest.
- Dark Green Limes: Limes that are a dark shade of green may yield less juice.
When selecting limes, it is advisable to compare their colors in order to choose the ripest option.
