Saftige Limetten aus dem Naturparadies.
The green refreshment.
It’s so green in the Mekong Delta in southern Vietnam! This is where our tangy and refreshing limes with exceptional juice and edible peel grow and ripen. The fruits love the warm, humid and sunny climate with temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius.
“Limes are funny fruits. The longer they ripen in the sun, the greener they get!” laughs master grower Manh. “So to get as much sunshine as possible to the fruit, we regularly thin and prune the trees”.
The trees are irrigated with fresh water from the Mekong River, which flows in canals to the plantation. In general, natural cultivation is important to us. In the case of pests, we rely on natural predators or biological agents.
“So after about three months, when the limes have turned completely green from the plentiful sun, we pick them carefully by hand. We only choose the most beautiful fruits”, Manh proudly explains. After the harvest, the limes are only washed, that’s all. We don’t wax or preserve them. That’s why our seedless limes have an edible peel and you can cook, bake or conjure up refreshing drinks with them with total confidence.

Origin
We grow our limes with the edible peel for example in southern Vietnam in the Mekong Delta. There, the fruits thrive on fertile soils in a warm tropical climate.
Storage
If you store limes at room temperature, they will keep about a week. In the refrigerator they stay fresh a little longer. We recommend not storing them too long, otherwise they could lose flavor.
History
Limes probably originated in Malaysia. Crusaders and travelers brought the fruit to Europe in the Middle Ages.
