If you love that wonderful fresh lime flavor but are inclined towards tastes that are more sweet than tart, this is the lime for you. Excellent for juicing, the lower-acid Sweet or Palestine lime makes a fine container plant and is easily groomed to be an ornate specimen. The fruit ripens to a yellowish green rather than the usual deep green, making this variety a stunning ornamental tree. Popular for Middle Eastern, Indian, and Latin American cooking.
