Michelle Darmody: Limes are mini globes of flavour

Limes are mini globes of flavour. They are my favourite citrus fruit to bake with, as they have such an unusual and distinctive taste.

Limes use to be extremely expensive to buy here but the price has gotten better over the past few years. At times you can get quite a dry one which does not yield much juice.

To help prevent this — although not all can be saved — you can roughly roll the lime on a hard surface before you slice it open.
