Sparkling Vietnamese Limeade (2024)

FAQs

What is a lime in Vietnamese food? ›

Chanh muối is a salted, pickled lime in Vietnamese cuisine. Its name comes from the Vietnamese words chanh (meaning "lime" or "lemon") and muối (meaning "salt"). To make the chanh muối, many limes (often key limes) are packed tightly in salt in a glass container and placed in the sun until they are pickled.

Limeade, also called lime soda, is a lime-flavored, sometimes carbonated, drink. It is usually sweetened with sugar or sweeteners. A common method of preparation is to juice limes and combine the juice with simple syrup or honey syrup, along with some water and perhaps more sugar or honey.

One of the most refreshing drinks around, homemade limeade is tart yet sweet and marvelously thirst quenching. All you need to make it are fresh limes and sugar or honey—and water. It's a magical two-ingredient recipe (as are many lemonade recipes.)

Canh Khoai Mỡ is an amazing, creamy, and comforting vietnamese soup made with yampi root also known as purple yam. This starchy and kinda slimy root vegetable makes the soup super delicious when cooked down and thickened and you can still taste bits of tender Khoai Mỡ in every bite.

Both lemons and limes have similar nutrients. Lemons contain more vitamin C and antioxidant flavonoids than limes. However, limes have slightly higher levels of minerals and vitamins than lemons.

It's not a contest. Both limes and lemons are acidic, limes slightly more. Lemons tend to be sour with limes being bitter.

Limes are acidic and they help saliva break down food for better digestion. Additionally, flavonoids in limes stimulate secretion of digestive juices. If you experience constipation, the acidity of limes can clear the excretory system and stimulate bowel activity.

Why is limeade good for you? ›

Vitamin C: the vitamin helps your body to absorb other nutrients, including calcium and iron. It's also good for your skin health. Anti-cancer: the vitamins and bioflavonoids in lemon juice have demonstrated antioxidant and anticancer properties in some studies.

One such brand is Simply Spiked, which introduced its first line of lemonade flavors in 2022. Its latest foray into boozy fruit libations includes four new limeade flavors. Like its spiked lemonade varieties, each refreshing, fizzy beverage contains 5% real fruit juice, 5% ABV, and 170 calories per serving.

Limes (Citrus aurantiifolia) are small and round with a greenish-yellow rind. Lemons (Citrus limon) are oval-shaped and larger than limes, possessing a bright yellow rind. Both lemons and limes have a sour and acidic flavor great for flavoring dishes, salad dressings, sauces, curries, pickled food, and drinks.

Lime wedges served as a garnish alongside pho are intended to add a tangy and citrusy dimension to the soup. When squeezed into the bowl just before eating, the fresh lime juice offers a burst of vibrant acidity that cuts through the richness of the broth, balancing its savoury flavours.

Citrus has a wonderful way of balancing the fat, salt, and heat of tacos. As people tend to say, "lime brightens up the dish." The heavy flavors from slow-braised meats need something that is the complete opposite to make it taste even more amazing. That's why we squeeze lime, add pickles and fresh salsas to tacos!

Like lemons, they add citric brightness to so many different kinds of dishes and recipes, from a Mojito to guacamole, and Ginger, Mint, and Lime Marinade to shrimp ceviche. A bit of acidity elevates almost every recipe and balances out richer, sweeter, or more savory flavors beautifully.
