What it is

Lime concentrate is made from the juice of limes, a citrus fruit. The juice is concentrated by removing water, which intensifies the lime flavor and aroma. It is used to provide a strong, tart lime taste in foods and beverages.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add lime concentrate to provide a distinct tart and citrusy flavor. It is commonly found in dips, sauces, marinades, seasonings, and desserts where a prominent lime taste is desired. It can also be used in beverages and candies.

Health notes

Lime concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring agent. It is a natural source of vitamin C, an essential nutrient. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated lime and its derivatives, and EFSA has also assessed citrus flavors. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Lime concentrate is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
