Lime juice is a natural tenderizer for meats and is often used in marinades, particularly for ceviche. The juice is also used to flavor salsa and guacamole, doubling as an anti-browning agent for the avocado, used in vinegar, dressings, and sauces. The zest offers bright, citrusy flavors and is used in many of the same applications including baked goods, desserts, and beverages.
