The Tahitian Persian lime is slightly larger than Tahitian Bearss lime. Both Tahitian limes are greenish yellow when ripe but are harvested to be sold when they are still green because the acidity level is higher, which provides a better flavor.
Many consumers are familiar with the Persian lime, Citrus latifolia, also known as a Tahiti lime or Bearss lime. The Persian lime is widely cultivated for commercial use, and has a more mild flavor and thicker rind.
