Can lime juice go bad?

Published in Food Safety 1 min read

Yes, lime juice can definitely go bad, and fresh lime juice deteriorates relatively quickly.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice: Its flavor is at its peak within approximately six hours of squeezing.

  • After 24 Hours: It starts to lose its optimal flavor and freshness.

Essentially, the closer you are to squeezing the limes, the better the lime juice will taste. Over time, oxidation and other factors degrade the flavor and can lead to spoilage.
