• There’s something about a lime that instantly wakes up a dish.

    Sharp, fragrant and impossibly fresh, this small green citrus has a way of brightening everything it touches – from zesty marinades to silky desserts and refreshing drinks. And what better excuse to celebrate it than International Lime Day, marked each year on 10 March – a day dedicated to appreciating the punchy flavour and versatility of this beloved fruit.

    Here at Food&Home, we’re leaning fully into the citrus celebration. Whether you’re a savoury fan who loves a squeeze of lime over grilled fish, someone who can’t resist a tangy dessert, or simply in the mood for a refreshing drink with a zingy twist, this roundup has something for every kind of lime lover.
