| | Key Lime Pie |
 | | On the other hand, the Key Lime, Mexican Lime or West Indian Lime, (botanical name, Citrus aurantifolia), is round and small, a lighter shade of green with a thin skin and a delicate aroma. |
 | | What Key West lacked, however, was cows, and milk and cream were hard to come by until Gail Borden invented sweetened condensed milk in the mid 1800's. |
 | | It can take up to 12 of the small key limes to make 1/2 cup of the juice, more than twice the number of Persian limes, but if you can find the key limes in your supermarket (ask the produce manager when to expect them!), it is well worth it. |
