lime

Lime is a citrus fruit of the Rutaceae family and is one of the most representative citrus notes. There are two methods for extracting the fragrance: squeezing and steam distillation. The fragrance is refreshing and cool, and slightly bitter compared to other citrus fruits. It is a shrub native to tropical regions such as India, Myanmar, and Malaysia. Due to its refreshing and unique bitter aroma, it is also used to flavor many beverages such as carbonated drinks. Like lemons, it contains a lot of citric acid, so it is expected to have effects such as fatigue recovery.
