To effectively store key limes and maintain their freshness, follow these guidelines.
Simple Storage Method
The best way to store key limes is to refrigerate them properly:
-
Seal: Place the whole key limes in a food storage bag, such as a Glad® Flex'n Seal® Sandwich Bag. These bags are designed to stretch and hold more, making them ideal for storing a larger quantity of limes.
-
Air Removal: Before sealing the bag, squeeze out as much air as possible. This helps to prevent the limes from drying out and maintains their quality for a longer period.
-
Refrigerate: Place the sealed bag of key limes in the refrigerator.
Following these steps will help keep your key limes fresh and ready to use when you need them.
