Lime sorbet is a frozen and refreshing dessert made primarily with lime juice, water, and sugar, offering a tangy and slightly sweet flavor, ideal for cleansing the palate or accompanying light dishes. Its smooth and light texture makes it a popular choice in many cuisines, especially in warm climates, where its ability to refresh is highly valued.
The origin of lime sorbet is linked to the Mediterranean and Arabic tradition of preparing sorbets and granitas with citrus fruits, which later spread and were adapted in Latin America, where the lime is a very common and prized fruit in various regional cuisines.
Among its properties, lime sorbet is low in fats and proteins, providing mainly fast-absorbing carbohydrates. Furthermore, lime is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which helps to strengthen the immune system and improve digestion.
In different regions of Latin America, lime sorbet may also be known as lime ice, lime granita, or simply frozen lemonade, although these variants may have slight differences in texture or preparation.
Perfect for desserts, refreshing beverages, or to accompany dishes with intense flavors, lime sorbet is a versatile ingredient that adds freshness and an irresistible citrus touch to cooking.
