What it is

Organic lime juice is the liquid extracted from organic limes, a citrus fruit grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It is typically produced by pressing or squeezing the fruit to release its juice, which is then often filtered.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic lime juice to provide a tart, citrusy flavor and aroma. It can also act as a natural preservative by lowering pH and is used to enhance the taste of a wide variety of foods and beverages, including dressings, sauces, marinades, and fruit drinks.

Health notes

Organic lime juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that supports immune function. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated lime juice and its components. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Lime is a fruit and does not contain gluten.
