Limeberry (Triphasia trifolia) is a small, unique fruit that combines the tartness of lime with the texture of a berry. The fruit grows on a compact, evergreen shrub and is known for its bright green to yellow color and zesty, citrus-like flavor. It’s a versatile addition to gardens and kitchens, offering a burst of fresh, tangy flavor in both sweet and savory dishes. While not as well-known as its larger citrus relatives, limeberries are packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, making them an excellent choice for boosting immunity and flavoring a variety of recipes.
