You'll have a better if you look for fresh key limes and juice them
yourself. I live in Minnesota and frequently see key limes in the
supermarkets.

Are you talking about - like- bottled Real lemon but Real lime juice?
If the grocery stores don't have it - try the liquor stores or health
food stores.

Yes, fresh is better. In fact, IMHO, fresh Persian lime juice is far
better than bottled key lime juice.

The best key lime juice is Nellie & Joe's. I had stocked up on it when
I went to the Keys some years back, but soon learned that if a bottle
(even unopened) isn't used within a few months, it separates. Might be
usable, but it looked NASTY. To my surprise I did find it in a
supermarket in Hawaii, where even some products common on the Mainland
are difficult to obtain, so perhaps your supermarket has it. If not, you
can get it from cookscorner.com for $2.99 a bottle, plus shipping.

I agree, fresh is best, but you can't always find key limes and it's
nice to have a bottle on hand for that spur-of-the-moment pie.

Another vote for using fresh limes. If you can't find Key Limes in your
usual grocery stores, try looking in markets that cater to Hispanics.
These are also called Mexican Limes, and many (most) of them now come
from Mexico.

Note that much of the bottled stuff that is sold as Key Lime juice is
actually made from Persian limes. Freshly-squeezed juice (from any
variety of lime) is much better.

If you have a Mexican or Hispanic market in your area, they will have limons
(aka Mexican limes). They are the same thing as Key limes.

I use Key Lime juice as an ingredient for a marinade for chicken and pork. I
combine it with some Asian chili sauce, garlic, soy sauce...it imparts an
excellent taste especially to chicken breast (which really needs it).

You're lucky. I never see them in the big supermarkets here (St.
Louis). Some of the smaller chains probably have them (I think I saw
them at Straub's for you St. Louis people).

I went down to my local Mexican market and they just had
regular limes and lemons (not even any Meyer lemons). The
store owner says in Mexico, they are small and full of
seeds. Does that accurately describe a key lime? The
picture here seems to be seedy. http://www.keylime.com/

Yes, the are small and juicy and seedy. I wouldn't quite say "full of
seeds". Trifoliate oranges are full of seeds.

They are small, yes, but I've never noticed if they have more seeds than
bigger limes.

We bought a lime juicer for $3 in a Mexican grocery store. It looks
something like a garlic press. Fancier versions can be found from
Williams Sonoma, etc. This gadget is very useful, since you have to
squooze quite a few of these little guys to get enough juice for a pie.

Persian limes are generally seedless.

I saw some Key Limes (produce of Mexico) at the local Walmart yesterday.
However, they were green, and smaller than the ones my tree produces.

I realize that fruit must be picked a little green to survive shipping and
handling. On the other hand, you don't know what the fruit looked like that is
used for the bottled juice!

Mexican limes and key limes are the same thing. They probably do taste
different though, based on the climate -- just like Texas grapefruits
taste a lot different than Florida grapefruit.

Mexican limes are the same as Key limes:
"The Key Lime lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle), also referred to as a Mexican
Lime, bears a profuse amount of small, thin-skinned, greenish-yellow limes.
This juicy lime is known for it's distinctive aroma high-acid content. The
picture below shows the size and color difference between the more common
Persian lime and the Key Lime."
------------
And, the Mexican "jungle" ??? Where's that? The greater part of Mexico is
very similar in climate to Florida.
