Press, zester, or a bag of fruit

Persian lime in a Central Florida pot is acid fruit. UF/IFAS puts lime on the tender side of the citrus freeze line. The kitchen split is press versus zest versus buying fruit when a cold night takes the tree.

Lime press
JobWhat you pickWhy
JuiceA lime pressA handheld press is the weeknight tool. It is not a tree.
PeelA fine zesterLime zest is the oil layer. The pith is bitter.
GapA grocery bagWhen the pot comes inside for a freeze, the bowl is store fruit.

Press a weeknight lime without a hinged gadget fight. Get this. Zest the oil layer. The pith is bitter. Get this.
