Description
Boiron Lime Puree is a 100% natural fruit solution crafted from a blend of premium Tahiti limes from Brazil and Mexican Key limes. This combination delivers a superior citrus profile, balancing the bright freshness of the Tahiti variety with the aromatic depth and slight bitterness of the Key lime. Processed at the peak of ripeness through flash-pasteurization, this frozen puree preserves the fruit's intense tartness, zesty aromas, and vibrant pale-yellow hue without any added sugar, colors, or preservatives.
