Red Lime gives citrus fruit new zing
The Red Lime is the same size and shape as the usual green variety, but it combines orange and sour lime flavours

An exotic red lime that will give cocktails added colour and marmalade an extra tang has gone on sale in Britain. The red lime, pictured, thought to be a cross between a lemon and a mandarin, is native to India. The trees are being sold for £34.99 by Suttons Seeds of Devon and can be grown in a conservatory or on a patio. The firm says: ‘The peel is reddish-orange. The pulp has a limelike aroma and is a deep orange colour. They are very juicy.’

If it is the common Rangpur lime, the taste is not very good. Several years ago, Citrus Joe gave me a box of Rangpur limes, after I tasted one the rest of the fruit quickly went into the compost pile. - Millet

I have a proof that England is not in Europe.
They say they don't send to France because of restrictions!
