often sold unripe and these are green.

When limes
are ripe they are yellow, the same colour as lemons. The juice tastes
different.

"Of special
interest in limes have been flavonoids called flavonol glycosides,
including many kaempferol-related molecules. While these flavonoids
have been shown to stop cell division in many cancer cell lines, they are
perhaps most interesting for their antibiotic effects."

"The fruits
are almost always picked when unripe (green), and are usually consumed
before they reach the ripe state (yellow). "
