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.

VarietyBest 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.
BearssCocktails 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.
