It is difficult to determine when the lime was first taken into cultivation as surviving documents do not distinguish it from other citrus fruits.While lemons are the major acid citrus fruits in the subtropics, limes are the most prominent in the tropical regions. The lime, in its very acidic form, will have one and one-half times as much acid as a lemon of the same weight.All fruits and vegetables sent at buyers risk.
