Unwaxed Lime
Description
Unwaxed lime is a lime that has not been coated with a protective wax or other post-harvest treatment. This makes the peel safe to use for cooking, zesting, and garnishes, as there is no waxy film to wash off first. Unwaxed limes are ideal for recipes where the peel is used, such as in baking, marinades, dressings, or cocktails.
No protective coating: Unlike some other citrus fruits that are coated to extend shelf life, unwaxed limes are treated to be ready for immediate use of both the juice and peel.
Safe for peel use: You can safely zest, grate, or use the peel for cooking or as a garnish because it does not have the artificial coating.
Ideal for cooking and drinks: Unwaxed limes are a perfect choice for a wide variety of recipes that call for both the juice and the zest, like salad dressings, marinades, cocktails, and baked goods.
