Did you know?
The flowers of the lime tree are gathered together with the papery bract beside them, dried and steeped. In Turkey it is the most common herbal tea of the winter months. Once the tree comes into flower the picking window lasts only a few days.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
