Commonly known as Persian lime or sweet lime, Citrus latifolia is a particularly fragrant citrus fruit.
The fruits of Citrus latifolia are round or slightly ovate in shape, with a thin green skin that can turn yellow when fully ripe. The Persian lime has a sweet and less tart flavor than lemons or limes. The aroma is fresh and mild, making it ideal for use in cooking and for flavoring drinks.
This variety grows well in warm and temperate climates. It prefers abundant sun exposure and well-drained soil. It is relatively resistant to several citrus diseases, but it is important to monitor plants for pests and suboptimal growing conditions.
