i want to paint my trees w/lime paint
A lime is a little round green fruit the size of a pingpong ball, but smaller. A lemon is a round yellow fruit the size of a tennis ball Hope this helped ;)
Lemons are yellow and limes are green. Besides the difference in color, limes are smaller than lemons and can be either sweet or sour The lime is of a more denser flesh than the lemon which causes it to be heavier and it contains more acid than a lemon. The limes are supposed to be superior to the lemon. The lime is higher in iron, phosphorous, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin A, and foliate. The lemon is richer in magnesium and potassium. Limes and lemons are normally available year-round, and are at their peak from late spring until early fall. Limes grow on shrubby plants and they grow anywhere between 6 feet to 13 feet. Lemons grow on trees and they have been known to grow to 30 feet height. According to Ageless, the lime has cooling and astringent properties, while the lemon is aromatic and cooling with anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties
The best way to know the answer is to go to a supermarket and buy both of them. Cut them in half, smell, taste the juice, use them to make some drink (ex. gin and tonic) and compare. Why did I say that? It is because this is the only way to learn the difference between the flavor of lime and that of lemon.
The best lemons are heavy for their size and have a fine-textured skin. Deep yellow lemons are usually more mature than light yellow ones and not quite as acid. One lemon contains 35% of the vitamin C your body needs every day. Limes have a flavor similar to lemons, but are more fragrant and less acid. They are a green colour. Limes are also important for their juice. When selecting limes, choose those that are firm and heavy, this means they have lots of juice.
Lemons and limes are produced by different trees. -------- A lime has denser flesh than a lemon which makes it heaver. Limes contain more acid than lemons, and are more sour (but lemons are small, green and more bitter before they mature and then turn yellow and more sweet when they mature. So what's the difference between a lime and an immature lemon?) When put into a glass or bowl of water, a lime will sink to the bottom, and a lemon will float on the top. Could the difference in density be due to a difference in sugar content or a difference in lipid (oil) content? Lipids are less dense than water. Lemons are known for their lemon oil. Cut a lemon and feel the oil on the surface. A small, dense, green, immature lemon floats in water!
