Chances are you won't find many homegrown key limes for sale in Key
West. That's because most of the key lime trees were wiped out in
hurricanes years ago. In addition, there's not a whole lot of arable
land in the Keys due to rampant development. The key limes you find in
the grocery stores mostly come from Mexico.

You need a Mexican-style lime juicer to get the maximum amount of juice
out of the key limes. These are the juicers that basically turn the
fruit halves inside out. You'll get arthritis squeezing them with a
conventional juicer.
