Question: why are limes not vegan?
Answer: Lots of you have been asking me why lemons and other citrus fruit (oranges, limes, grapefruit etc) and some apples (omg not apples too!), mango and avocado are not vegan…. Basically they 'preserve' the fruit in a coating of either shellac or beeswax. ... They do it to preserve the fruit travelling long distances.
