Limes have similar nutritional and health benefits as lemons. They provide an
excellent source of vitamin C. They also offer a good source of folic acid, vitamin B6,
potassium, flavonoids, and the important phytochemical limonene.
Limes contain phytochemicals that are high in antioxidant and anticancer properties.
Studies have shown that lime juice can affect cell cycles. It can modulate the
decision a cell makes to divide (mitosis), die (apoptosis), or even boost the activity of
white blood cells. Limes also have an antibiotic effect and are strongly protective
against diseases such as cholera.
