What is the difference between regular limes and key limes?

Question

I have some key lime juice (I meant to get reg lime juice but got this by mistake). Any recipe suggestions?

Answer 1

Key limes are much smaller (ping-pong to golfball-sized) thanregular limes, nearly spherical, thin-skinned, and often contain a few seeds. Green key limes are prized for their acidity. As they ripen to a yellow color, the acid content diminishes greatly, resulting in a sweeter fruit.

The juice is not green.  When you see green "key lime" pie...it's been colored with food coloring.

They also are more yellow than the more common green limes.

Answer 2

key lime pie...

Answer 3

There is no different between key lime and regular limes. Key limes

are simply immature limes.
