Lime
Lime is a sour citrus fruit that is used to add flavor to food and drinks. It is also used as a natural cleaning agent and has many other uses. The lime tree is native to Asia and the Indian subcontinent.
Limes have been used in cooking since ancient times. The first recorded lime recipe was for a limeade drink that was popular in ancient Rome. Limeade is still a popular drink today.
Limes were also used to make marmalade and other preserves. In the Middle Ages, lime juice was used to prevent scurvy. Sailors would drink lime juice to prevent this disease.
