 | | Lime is a term referring to a number of different citrus hybrids and cultivars which are typically round, green to yellow in color, 3-6 cm in diameter, generally containing sour pulp, and frequently associated with the lemon. |
 | | In order to prevent scurvy during the 19th century, British sailors were issued a daily allowance of citrus such as lime (presumably Citrus × aurantifolia), giving them the nickname "limey." It was later discovered that this beneficial effect derived from the quantities of Vitamin C the fruit contain. |
