Key limes

Illustration by SN&R staff

Citrus trees are like manna from heaven in our part of the country. You can find multiple varieties to pick or glean from the sidewalk in every neighborhood—particularly Midtown. Some of the least obvious are Key limes, named for the Florida islands where they were made famous. Grown on smaller, shrubby trees, these small yellow limes have a thinner rind and more seeds than standard Persian limes. Slice a wedge for your rum and tonic or juice the little beauties and make a super-easy Key lime pie.
