I mean key lime is also put into drinks so...
Lemons and limes, although they are both citrus, and they both have a sour taste, It is still quite different. Like me, I find I can only have Lemons in my drinks, and I like Limes in my pastries, it's just a preference of course, but there is a diffference in taste.Plus, the obvious, Lemons are yellow, Limes are green.
juices from lemons have hexose-furanose rings, while juices from the limes have pentose-furanose rings. the difference in taste in lemons and limes could come partially from the difference in rings. Lime Citrus aurantifolia Family: Rutaceae Lemon Citrus limon Family: Rutaceae
Lemon and Limes are two different varieties of citrus. Lemons are yellow and limes are green.
Lemons are the bright yellow ones, they typicaly have thick skin, and are slightly less sour than limes, they can even have a bit of a sweetish taste. Limes are green, thin skinned and rounder. They taste a lot more sour than lemons.
Limes are small and stay small , They are roundish. Lemons get much larger and will usually have a pointed tip on one end even when green. Limes have a sour, tarty taste and have thin skins with a stronger fragrant smell than a lemon.
