==Key limes== {{main|Key lime}} [[File:Key lime (Citrus Γ aurantiifolia) - DSC09279.jpg|thumb|Key limes]] Key lime (''[[Citrus aurantifolia]]'' 'Swingle') is naturalized throughout the [[Florida Keys]]. While the tree's thorns make harvesting them less tractable, and the fruit's thin, yellow rind is more perishable than the common [[Persian lime]]s seen year-round at grocery stores in the United States, Key limes are both more tart and more aromatic. They have not been grown commercially in the U.S. since the [[1926 Miami hurricane]], and are generally imported from Central or South America.<ref name="parks"/><ref name="nj">{{cite web |title = Our Story |publisher = Nellie & Joe's Famous Key West Lime Juice |url = https://keylimejuice.com/story/# |quote = Key Limes for commercial use have not been grown in the Keys for many years }}</ref> Key lime juice, unlike regular lime juice, is a pale yellow. Bottled Key lime juice, invariably from concentrate, is widely available at retail in the United States.<ref name="nj"/>
