We're big fans of citrus here at Dish, that goes without saying.
So when we heard about Limelights – a juicier, Gisborne-grown and notably yellow variety of limes (no, not lemons), naturally, we needed to know more.
What is a lime if not lime green? Are all limes created equal? Is a yellow lime more akin to a lemon when it comes to taste? These were questions that needed addressing.
Unbeknown to most, all limes turn yellow when they’re fully ripe. It’s all to do with cooler night time temperatures triggering colour change. Once they reach prime picking stage, they're notably more yellow, boasting a fuller rind and full of juice.
Limelights, the yellow lime proudly grown and harvested in sunny Gisborne, are the limes for everyday and every occasion. What's more, they're not going to break the bank. Grown in our own backyard to their ripest potential, the next time your favourite recipe calls for limes, say hello to yellow.
