Why You Don't Want Lime Colored Limes

The more yellow the lime is the more ripe it is. A fully rope lime will actually look like a lemon. In the US we seem our food industry has seemed to train us to desire bright green limes. I suspect this is due to shipping efficiency and longer shelf lives of moving the unripe product. On a related not same goes for pomegranite. The sweetest ones are white with maturity.
