About Citrus Aurantiifolia
Lime is the fruit of an evergreen tree that reaches six meters in height. The Citrus aurantiifolia tree has many branches and leaves, and small, strong and sharp thorns can be seen at the junction of its leaves and stems.
Its leaves are often almond-shaped, sometimes oval-shaped, pointed and slightly elongated, and grow with very short petioles. There are very small teeth on the side of these leaves. On the petiole of the leaves, two very small appendages of its leaves can be seen.
The flowers are small and white and grow in groups. Each flower usually has five elongated petals, relatively narrow, almost pointed and completely separate from each other. The color of the back of the petals is usually purple, and sometimes pink spots and dots can be seen on their back.
The whole fruit of some types of limes are placed in direct sunlight so that the juice and skin become completely dry and its color turns to light brown or dark brown. These dried limes are known as Limo Omani. The inside of the Limo Omani is very dark brown.
