limes at home and store your citrus fruits safely for a longer
time. Key limes are commonly known as Mexican Lime or West
Indies Lime. Key limes are commonly known as Mexican Lime or
West Indies LimeSmall in size (a little larger than walnuts) and
oval in shape, these limes have a thin yellowish rind. They are
very juicy, extremely aromatic and generally have a more complex
acidic flavor than other kinds of limes.    Different forms of
key limes can be stored in different ways. For example, you can
store whole key limes in a refrigerator for almost two weeks.
However, ensure that while doing so, you store them in plastic
bags, at a temperature of about 4 – 6 degrees Celsius. The
stored whole key limes at times last for several weeks as well.
However, longer storage makes them lose their flavor and aroma
greatly and you miss the taste that fresh key limes bring with
them.  Fresh key lime slices or wedges can also be refrigerated
in a similar manner.
