Did you know?
Key limes are smaller and more aromatic than regular limes, with a distinctive tart-sweet flavor.
The pie originated in Florida in the late 1800s, before refrigeration was common.
Traditional recipes don’t require baking, as the acid in lime juice naturally thickens the filling.
The U.S. made it the official state pie of Florida in 2006.
Drawbacks ⚠️
High in added sugar, which may lead to blood sugar spikes and cravings.
