Similar to lemons, limes also pack an extremely beneficial vitamin C punch and their concentration of antioxidants helps prevent free radicals and therefore, reduces the likelihood of many cancers. The short sharp flavour, caused by a phytonutrient called limonin, literally can halt inflammation and therefore reduce the effect of many common illnesses.
