Sri Lankan lime, known locally as "dehi," is a staple in the island’s vibrant culinary tradition. Grown abundantly in Sri Lanka's tropical climate, these small, green citrus fruits are prized for their sharp, tangy flavor and aromatic zest. Sri Lankan lime is widely used in traditional dishes such as curries, sambols, and seafood preparations, adding a refreshing acidity that balances rich and spicy flavors. Beyond the kitchen, lime is also valued in Ayurvedic remedies for its detoxifying properties and high vitamin C content. Its juice and rind are common ingredients in chutneys, pickles, and even refreshing beverages enjoyed across the country.
