Lime juice, fresh

Fresh lime juice is the liquid squeezed from limes, a citrus fruit. It consists mainly of water and provides vitamin C, with small amounts of carbohydrate and protein and very little fat. Per 100g, it contains 38mg of vitamin C, 1.6g of carbohydrate, 0.1g of fat and 36 kJ of energy.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body form collagen, a protein found in skin and other connective tissues. It also helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Lime juice is acidic, and frequent contact with teeth can contribute to dental enamel erosion. The full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
