The name lime employed in connection with this fruit is misleading and should be avoided since the only similarities between it and the true limes are that both have small flowers and because they are both highly acidic and can be used as substitutes.

 

Resemblances between the Rangpur and mandarin are obvious and numerous, and for this reason it is best included under the mandarin-like fruits.

​

Resembling an orange or a
tangerine, Rangpur limes
are generously filled with
delicious juice. This very
special citrus fruit offers a
tart acidic complex flavour.
Easy to peel, the rich deep
orange pulp contains many
seeds.
