Nutritional and culinary comparison of citrus fruits

Overview

Information regarding citrus fruits focuses on the nutritional and culinary distinctions between limes and lemons. Limes are noted for their complex flavors, particularly in Southeast Asian and South American cuisines, and contain approximately 2.10g of sugar per 100g. This sugar content makes limes slightly higher in calories at 40.2 kcal per 100g, whereas yellow lemons provide 27.6 kcal per 100g.

While lemons are characterized by intense acidity and superior vitamin C content, limes offer a different nutritional profile. The yellow lemon has historical roots in Mediterranean cultivation, including regions such as Sicily and the French Côte d’Azur.
