Buying limes in May

How to pick: Heavy and slightly soft when squeezed. A little yellow on the skin means more juice.
Ripening at home: Citrus does not ripen after picking. Buy it ready.
How to store: In a sealed bag in the fridge for 3 to 4 weeks.
Try this: Squeeze over tacos, corn or cut mango with a pinch of salt.

Seasons are typical harvest months. Your local harvest can start or end a few weeks either side, and stores carry imports outside these months.
