What is the key in key lime? is key lime different than lime??!
Size wise it is a bit larger than a kumquat, more like a large cherry tomato, and are generally sold in bags of 12-14. Even here in Canada we get them more now, I used to buy the juice from Oriental markets, as it is like the Vietnamese and Thai limes in flavour.
Answers: Being a former chef and having used fresh one and juice for different recipes, correct it is a small citrus fruit, no as green as the persian lime, more juice for it's size than the others, you cannuse the juice and rind in recipes.

Key limes come from the Florida Keys, hence the name. They are smaller and tastier than regular limes which is why they are used for pies and such.
