One of the most popular types of limes is the Bearss lime. This larger type of lime is what is considered a Persian lime. Most of the limes you find in the grocery store are a type of Persian lime. These limes are hardy and can handle some cold temperatures as they grow. Bearss limes turn a greenish-yellow color as they ripen and do not contain seeds. Another popular kind is the Key lime also known as the Mexican lime. These small citrus fruits taste very acidic and grow in hot climates. Key limes have seeds but are more robust in flavor than Persian limes. One more famous type of lime is the Tahitian lime. This is another member of the Persian lime family. It is also seedless and much larger than Mexican limes. The Tahitian lime is so similar to the Bearss lime that you won’t find much difference between the two.
