The lime you find at most grocery stores is the Bearss lime, a Persian lime, prized for its larger, seedless fruit and balanced flavor. Homegrown, it's even better, producing deep green, thin-skinned limes that are exceptionally juicy and easy to zest. Milder and less acidic than Key limes, Bearss limes deliver bright citrus flavor without the intense tartness, making them perfect for everything from cocktails to cooking.

Glossy, evergreen, and pleasantly fragrant in bloom, the Persian Bearss Lime earns its place outdoors in warm regions or in a container that summers on a sunny patio and overwinters inside where frost threatens.
