Limes, flesh only, weighed with peel and pips

Limes are citrus fruits, and these figures describe the flesh only, with the weight measured before removing the peel and pips. Lime flesh mainly provides water, along with vitamin C and small amounts of carbohydrate, protein and fat. Per 100g weighed this way, it provides 34mg of vitamin C, 0.6g of carbohydrate, 0.5g of protein and 0.2g of fat.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body make collagen, which is needed for skin, cartilage and other tissues. It also helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Saturated fat is present only in trace amounts. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
