Tips for squeezing limes to get more juice

Sour is one of the favorite flavors of Thai people. Lime is always tucked away in the kitchen of almost every home. Whether you want to add a cheesy flavor to a great dish or sip the refreshing aroma, the tiny limes are ready to answer all the questions mentioned above. However, before getting a cup of lime juice, the squeezing may consume a lot of strength. Try a small trick and let's save both energy and time when squeezing lime looks better.

1. Choose a key lime softshell

2. Heat the limes in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, or soak the limes in warm water for a few minutes. The heat will help the limes to dehydrate more.

3. Roll the lime on the table, then cut the lime into 3 axial sections by dissecting the lime core and picking out the seeds.

4. Squeeze the lime halves onto the ridge of a knife or spoon. You will get a lot of lime juice.

The lime should not be heated for too long or squeezed the lime too hard. This will cause the lime juice to have a bitter taste. If you need to use lime juice often, try squeezing a lot of lemons at once. Then put it in a sealed bottle and refrigerate. When it is released, the taste will still be sour and fresh as before.
