According to the RealLime 100% Lime Juice from concentrate bottle label: 1/2 cup of RealLime juice = 1/2 cup fresh lime juice So...1 cup of RealLime "concentrate" juice equals 1 cup of fresh lime juice.
One must squeeze a lime.
Depending on the size you will need 8 to 10 limes for 1 cup of lime juice (1 lime equals 1/12 to 2 tablespoons of juice.
Slice a lime in half and squeeze the juice out of one of the halves.
An eighth of a tablespoon of 400 GPL Lime Juice Concentrate when added to 7/8th of a tablespoon of water will equal 1 tablespoon of fresh Lime Juice. Of course, fresh Lime Juice will taste better as the concentrate goes through an evaporation process which hinders the volatile top notes due to heating. Normal fresh Lime Juice is 50-55 GPL (Grams per Liter of Citric Acid) so the reconstitution rate is 1 part concentrate (400 GPL) and 7 parts water.
1/3 cup
Yes, but the flavor will differ slightly. Key limes are both more acidic and bitter than the larger Persian lime. This gives then a distinctly stronger flavor. For desserts and drinks featuring lime, such as key lime pie, a regular lime will give a much milder flavor. A preference for one or the other often depends on what recipe is used, or the individual using it.
Yes, it is a conductor of electricity, but not a good one.
No one knows who invented key lime pie. The particular lime called the Key Lime was brought to America by the Spanish. Key Lime Pie would have been created after condensed milk had been invented. True key lime pie requires juice from the round Key Lime and not the juice from the oblong Persian Lime. Key Lime juice has a higher pH than Persian Lime Juice, which means it is not as acidic and it has a far more pleasant aftertaste. That juice is mixed with condensed milk and other ingredients.
There are a couple of ways to increase the juice you'll get. One is the roll the lime on the counter top pressing down firmly. Basically your breaking up the flesh of the lime inside before you cut it in half. This starts the juice flowing. Another way is to put the whole lime in the microwave for around 10 seconds. Not so long that it gets too hot. The effect is the same. The heat breaks down the flesh in the lime so the juice is free to run.
Orange zest works very well.....U cud also try lime zest for soming a little tangier
