Last week I received a big basket containing Brazilian limes. They are in season throughout the year. They are a great way to add freshness and texture to your cooking, as well as being a healthy way to flavour dishes.
Brazilian limes are completely seedless and tend to be lighter green in colour. They are known for having thin skins, which makes them much juicier.
I use limes everyday for salad dressings, sauces and in drinks. If life gives you limes make caipirinha! I make a little 6 seconds Vine showing how to make caipirinha: here
