Limes typically look like small, round, and bright green citrus fruits.
Here's a more detailed description:
- Shape: Generally round, though some varieties can be slightly oval.
- Size: Smaller than lemons, usually around 1-2 inches in diameter.
- Color: Characteristically bright green when ripe. However, if left on the tree for an extended period, they can turn yellow, resembling small lemons.
- Texture: The skin is generally smooth and relatively thin.
- Inside: The pulp is juicy, acidic, and pale green or yellowish-green in color.
Limes are often used for their juice and zest in cooking and beverages.
