So this weekend I was volunteering at a country music festival and we were in charge of recycling. People would collect the bottles and cans and we would sort them into different bags. There was this weird white powder on the ground and someone said it was lime and we should try not to touch it or inhale it. It was really windy though, and I was wearing flipflops so... yeah I touched it and inhaled it. I am probably not going to die or anything, but could someone please give me a straight answer? Is lime powder bad for a humans health?
A homemade key lime pie is one of the most delicious things ever created. :-) You can use slices for garnish. (and leaves, too, if you have them)
you can candy them in sugar (wash them thoroughly first), slice them and cook in sugar for 20 min. Lay out on a cookie sheet with parchment paper. When cold and crispy serve on top of the berries as a delicious simple desert. Perhaps garnish with some mint leaves as well. Or you can slice them and serve in water - gives great flavour and many spa's do so. My favourite is to fry chicken breast on a grill pan. Half the limes and grill them next to the chicken breasts. Then garnish the plates with the halfed limes and have the guests sqeeze the juice out over the chicken before eating.
