Question:

How similar is lemon juice to lime juice?

I see a lot of websites advising to rub lemon juice in your scalp to get rid of dandruff. Could I use lime juice?

Answer:

key limes are much smaller, but have more intense flavor Definately go with the Key Limes for a Key Lime Pie..... MMMM
Yes. The key limes are much smaller in size and have quite a distinctive flavour. Some say they are a littler sweeter than a regular lime.
Go with the key limes .. they have a milder taste, even though it takes a lot more of them to make a pie with lol .. you could probably substitute regular limes, but being a purist, it just wouldn't be the same. Try it both ways, who knows, you mite like regular limes better
If you can find them, use the key limes even though regular limes make a good pie too. I usually end up buying bottled key lime juice for my key lime pies because I cannot easily find key limes.
