Lime varieties and best uses
The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common lime varieties compare.
| Variety | Best for |
|---|---|
| Persian (Tahiti) | Everyday lime juice and zest: bright, reliable, widely stocked. |
| Key (Mexican) | Pies and cocktails: smaller and sharper with intense aroma. |
| Kaffir (Makrut) | Thai and Indonesian curries: prized for zest and leaves, very little juice. |
| Bearss | Cocktails and dressings: large Persian-type, slightly sweeter and milder than Tahiti. |
Which should I pick?
For everyday juice and zest, Persian (Tahiti) is the supermarket default: bright acid and reliable yield. No Persian? Bearss is nearly identical and slightly sweeter. Reach for Key (Mexican) when you want a sharper, more aromatic note for pies and cocktails. Kaffir is for zest and leaves only, not juice.
