Lime juice is a popular ingredient for tenderizing, marinating, garnishing, mixing, and even cleaning! From dressings to rice to margaritas, lime juice is a versatile and reliable ingredient in the kitchen. Bottled lime juice is readily found in grocery stores, or you can simply pick up a few limes and juice them yourself! Whether bottled or fresh, you’ll more or less get the same flavor from both. However, the taste of fresh lime juice is often favored over bottled, especially when used for cocktails. Bottled lime juice may also contain preservatives and even added sugar. At the end of the day, the two can be used interchangeably, but the choice is yours. Although bottled lime juice can be more convenient, sometimes you just can’t beat the fresh stuff. Just grab a few ripened limes and a juicer (or use your hands!). Pro tip: before juicing, roll the limes on the counter to help release the juices inside the fruit. You’ll get a higher yield when juicing. How much lime juice can you get from one lime? One lime should yield about 1-3 tablespoons of lime juice depending on the size and juiciness of the lime. If a recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of lime juice, go ahead and juice one lime. Lime juice is a key ingredient that has surely made a name for itself. Squeeze lime juice into homemade guacamole, use it to marinade cilantro lime chicken, or add a splash to mix up a batch of fresh margaritas.
