Lime Peel Oil








lime  Citrus aurantifolia

Lime peel oil.....


A lime is a small citrus fruit whose skin and flesh is green in color. They are smaller than lemons, a good source of vitamin C, and sweeter than lemons.


During the nineteenth century, British sailors were issued a daily allowance of citrus such as lime to prevent scurvy, a disease resulting from a lack of vitamin C. This disease was common among sailors, pirates, and others aboard ships, because fruits and vegetables did not last on voyages. This is the origin of the nickname “limey” for Britons.
