The lime you actually buy at the grocery store, the Bearss Lime (also sold as Persian lime) is the larger, juicier, nearly seedless lime that shows up in every taco, cocktail, and glass of sparkling water. The fruit is bigger than a key lime, with bright, tart juice and a clean citrus flavor that works in everything.
This is the workhorse lime for home growers. It's a vigorous, heavy producer with a more forgiving, hardier growth habit than a key lime, and it fruits for months at a time once established. One healthy tree can easily keep a household stocked.
