Lime marmalade

Green lemon marmalade is a sweet preserve made from the juice and pulp of the green lemon, also known as lime in many Spanish-speaking regions. This ingredient is characterized by its acidic, refreshing, and slightly bitter flavor, balanced with the sweetness of sugar, making it a perfect complement for a wide variety of culinary preparations.

The green lemon is native to Southeast Asia, but its cultivation has spread widely in tropical and subtropical regions of Latin America, the Caribbean, and other parts of the world. In Hispanic America, green lemon marmalade is very popular and is used not only as an accompaniment for breads, cookies, and cheeses but also as a base for sauces, glazes, or fillings in desserts and pastries.

Its notable properties include its content of vitamin C, antioxidants, and flavonoids, which provide benefits for the immune system and have anti-inflammatory properties. Furthermore, being a natural product, it is a delicious way to incorporate the fresh and citrusy flavors of the green lemon into your recipes.

Common synonyms in Hispanic America for the term "green lemon marmalade" include lime marmalade, lime sweet, and in some countries, it is also known as green lemon jelly.
