[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Limes are used in a plethora of recipes and hold a prominent place in confectionery. Our beloved limes belong to the same citrus fruit family as lemons, although in reality, we are talking about two different citrus fruits.<\/p>\n

Initially, limes have the scientific name Citrus Aurantifolia and have their roots in Southeast Asia. They were later brought to Egypt and North Africa by Arab traders in the 10th century. The Moors brought them to Spain three centuries later, along with many other fruits, and their cultivation spread throughout Southern Europe during the Crusades.<\/p>\n

Nutritional Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong>Limes contain, among other things, vitamins C and A, calcium, magnesium, selenium, zinc, manganese, and copper.<\/p>\n

Limes act as antioxidants due to the vitamin C they contain, which also strengthens our immune system. Thanks to the potassium they contain, they maintain normal blood pressure, have antimicrobial action, and enhance memory function.<\/p>\n

The magnesium in limes relaxes muscles, preventing cramps and excessive fatigue of the body, while keeping the skin healthy and radiant, preventing the formation of wrinkles. Moreover, limes aid in weight loss and prevent constipation due to their high content of dietary fibers and pectin.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
