Question:

Raspberry Lime Ricky Recipe?

Does anyone have one?

Answer:

No. These are two distinct citrus fruits. A lime is green and a lemon is yellow. The flavors of each is very different from oneanother. However, I have indeed seen green lemons and they were upripe. But, I have never seen a yellow lime.
No. They're ALL Separate Entities ( different fruit ).

A lime is a lime. :)
Citrus fruits (lemons, limes, grapefruit, oranges, kumquats, etc) are green until they ripen (except a few varieties such as the key lime). The sweetness increases as a fruit ripens, so that's why the sour flavor is more prominent. There are varieties of lemons, and hybrids of lemons and oranges such as the Meyer lemon, which is not as tart as the normal Eureka lemon. A ripe Persian lime's skin can turn yellow.
