What it is

Key lime juice from concentrate is made from key limes, a small, tart citrus fruit native to Southeast Asia. The juice is extracted from the limes, then concentrated by removing water, and later reconstituted with water before use. This process helps preserve the juice and makes it easier to transport.

Why it's used

Key lime juice from concentrate is primarily used to add a distinct tart and floral flavor to foods and beverages. It is commonly found in desserts like pies and cheesecakes, as well as in marinades, sauces, and beverages, especially those aiming for a tropical or citrus profile.

Health notes

Key lime juice from concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It provides vitamin C, an essential nutrient. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated citrus juices and their components, generally finding them safe for consumption. No significant health concerns are associated with its typical use in food.

Allergen info
