Buy Tropical Lime Fruit UK

Fresh tropical limes are now available across the UK — zesty, aromatic, and bursting with citrus flavour, perfect for cocktails, cooking, and gourmet gifts.

What are Tropical Limes?

Tropical limes are small, green citrus fruits prized for their refreshing acidity and aromatic zest. Unlike the more common Persian lime, these varieties are typically grown in Mexico, Brazil, and the Caribbean, where abundant sunshine gives them a vibrant punch of flavour.

Their juicy, tangy flesh and fragrant oils make them a versatile kitchen essential — equally at home in cocktails, curries, marinades, desserts, and tropical fruit platters. In many cultures, limes are also celebrated for their cleansing, cooling qualities and are considered a symbol of refreshment.

Nutrition & Health Benefits

Tropical limes are a powerhouse of fresh citrus nutrition:

• High in vitamin C – supports immune health and skin vitality.

• Antioxidants – naturally present in citrus fruits.

• Citrus acids – aid digestion and add freshness to meals.

• Hydrating & low-calorie – perfect for a refreshing boost.

• Natural flavour enhancer – reduces need for added salt.
