Cooking Tips
🍋 Lime
- Microwave a lime for 10 seconds before juicing to get more juice.
- Lime zest has more intense flavor than the juice — use both.
- Lime juice can "cook" raw fish in ceviche through acid denaturation.
Nutrition: High in vitamin C and antioxidants. One lime has about 20 calories.
Storage: Room temperature for 1 week, refrigerated for up to 4 weeks.
🌿 Cilantro
- Add cilantro at the very end of cooking — heat destroys its flavor.
- Use both the leaves and stems — stems have more concentrated flavor.
- If you hate cilantro, try substituting with flat-leaf parsley or Thai basil.
Nutrition: Good source of vitamins A, C, and K. Contains antioxidants and may aid digestion.
Storage: Place stems in a jar of water, cover with a bag, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
