"Key Limes" which are grown and used in most parts of the world, are native to Southeast [[Asia]], and were brought by [[Columbus]] to the West Indies. They grow on tropical citrus trees that reach a height of 15 to 20 feet and are very sensitive to the cold, so in the Unites States are grown in warmer climates, including [[Texas]] and [[Florida]].

The Persian or "Tahiti Lime", also grown in the United States, is a hybrid developed in the early 20th century. This lime is larger than the Key Lime, and is more resistant to disease and pests.

Limes are rich in [[Vitamin C]] and [[Vitamin A]] and were carried onboard ships to prevent the disease of [[scurvy]] in sailors, which was sometimes caused by long sea journeys without fresh fruit or other sources of vitamin C.
