Why do most lemons have seeds and most limes don't?
Lemons and limes have a similar flavor and texture since they’re both tart and juicy. And while some people prefer lemon in their water or lime in their margaritas they can pretty much always be used in the same way: to add that tart tangy punch to whatever you’re drinking eating or whipping up.
Both lemons and limes also work well in baked goods like lemon or lime bars or pie ice cream and sorbet fresh-squeezed juice sauces and dressings. They can even be used simply as a basic garnish; add zest alongside your favorite meats fish and plant proteins and vegetables for a tangy hint of fruit without too much bite.
But despite their versatility there is one surprising difference between these two types of citrus fruits and that is that lemons usually have seeds while limes do not. (You never really noticed did you? Well neither did I.)
