What's the Difference Between Lemons and Limes?!
Answers: Besides the colors of course. I honestly don't know. Thanks.
Limes are more sour and smaller than lemons. They are also picked green. In addition, the commercial limes do not have seeds. The Kaffir lime from Southeast Asia are a "naive" lime and does have seeds and is considerably larger with bumpy rind.
Key limes are considerably smaller with a distinctive flavor.

I'm with cookie-I could tell the difference blindfolded but there's no way to describe what it is-they just taste different.
limes have a slight bitter taste and a stronger sour taste a little like unripe lemon
