What it is

Key lime juice concentrate is made from key limes, a small, tart citrus fruit native to Southeast Asia. The juice is extracted and then concentrated by removing water, intensifying its flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use key lime juice concentrate primarily as a flavoring agent to impart a distinct tart and floral citrus taste. It is commonly found in desserts like pies, ice cream, cakes, and yogurt, as well as in beverages.

Health notes

Key lime juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a food flavoring. It is a source of vitamin C and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated citrus-derived ingredients, and while specific evaluations for key lime juice concentrate may vary, citrus fruits are widely consumed and considered safe. No significant health concerns are associated with its typical consumption in food.

Allergen info

Key lime juice concentrate is not derived from any of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
