Water & Lime Juice

Water is a clear, odorless, and tasteless liquid essential for life. Lime juice is the liquid extracted from limes, a citrus fruit known for its tart flavor. Together, they form a simple liquid base often used to add moisture and a bright, acidic taste to foods.

Manufacturers use water and lime juice to provide moisture, dilute concentrated flavors, and add a refreshing tartness. They are commonly found in sauces, marinades, dressings, and beverages where a fresh, citrusy note is desired.

Water is essential for human health. Lime juice is a source of vitamin C. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists lime juice as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated citric acid, a major component of lime juice, and found it safe for consumption. No significant health concerns are associated with consuming water and lime juice in typical amounts.
