The Real Reason Most Grocery Store Limes Don't Have Seeds

23 Feb 2022  |  Mashed  |  English  |  Agriculture

Limes, particularly the Persian variety found in grocery stores, are seedless due to their hybrid nature and do not require pollination. This seedlessness extends their shelf life and makes them convenient for juicing. Despite these differences, both fruits enhance the flavor of dishes and drinks with their acidity.
