Key limes typically last for up to 3 weeks when stored properly in the refrigerator.
To maximize the lifespan of your key limes, follow these storage tips:
- Refrigerate: Place the key limes in a plastic bag (resealable is best) to help retain moisture.
- Crisper Drawer: Store the bagged key limes in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. This environment provides optimal humidity and temperature control.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Keep key limes away from direct sunlight and heat, as this can accelerate spoilage.
- Room Temperature: If stored at room temperature, key limes will only last for about a week.
By following these guidelines, you can extend the freshness and usability of your key limes.
