🍋 Persian Lime Seeds – Limoo, Tahiti Lime, Bearss Lime (Citrus latifolia)
💰 Price: Package of 2 Seeds
🌿 Persian lime (Citrus latifolia), also known as limoo, Tahiti lime, or Bearss lime, is a widely recognized citrus fruit with a distinctive, mildly spicy fragrance. This variety is known for its larger size, thicker skin, and lack of seeds, making it a popular choice for both culinary and commercial applications. The Bearss lime variety, named after its developer John T. Bearss in 1895, is particularly sought after for its high yield and longer shelf life compared to other lime varieties.The fruit is typically about 6 cm in diameter and is sold when green, although it gradually turns yellow as it ripens. Unlike the Key lime (Citrus aurantifolia), the Persian lime has a less intense citrus aroma and milder acidity, making it more versatile in a range of dishes. It’s often used fresh for juicing or zesting, and it’s also dried for use in Persian cooking, where it adds a unique tangy flavor.
The thicker skin and larger size of the Persian lime make it a commercial favorite, as it is more resilient and easier to handle than the smaller, more delicate Key lime. The absence of thorns on the bushes also contributes to its appeal for growers. Persian limes are less bitter and acidic than Key limes, offering a more neutral citrus flavor, which makes them ideal for a variety of applications, from cocktails and salsas to baking and marinades.
🌱 Persian limes originate from the Far East and were first cultivated extensively in Persia (modern-day Iran) and southern Iraq. Over time, the variety spread across the globe and became particularly prominent in Mexico, which is now the world’s leading producer and exporter of Persian limes. The Persian lime gained popularity in the U.S. after a hurricane in 1926 wiped out the Key lime orchards in Florida, and it continues to be an essential part of the citrus industry.While the Persian lime is typically larger and less acidic than the traditional Key lime, it has a longer shelf life and is commercially grown in Mexico, California, and Florida. These limes are exported globally, primarily to the American, European, and Asian markets. Persian limes are usually sold in six sizes (110s, 150s, 175s, 200s, 230s, and 250s), with 110s being the largest and 250s being the smallest.
