Somewhere down the line the sole purpose of Key Limes became an ingredient for making a pie. So one might be surprised to learn that Key Limes can also be used simply as limes. Yes, that's right! The limes we see at grocery stores are often Persian Limes. Key Limes have a thinner skin, they are more flavourful, more fragrant and sweet, while still maintaining the standard lime flavour. And as a bonus: their naturally smaller size makes them way cuter. 

Preparation Ideas: If you aren't using these for a drink, or as a garnish here are a few other ideas that aren't Key Lime Pie: Key Lime Cake Balls, Key Lime Blondies, Key Lime Cheesecake, and Key Lime Fondu.
