Spanish Limes Fruit – Delivered Across Canada

Taste bright sweet tart flavour in a bite-sized tropical fruit. Spanish Limes, known as quenepas or mamoncillos, arrive fresh and fragrant.

Why Choose Spanish Limes

Spanish Limes are small green fruits with thin leathery skin and bright orange pulp. They pop open with light pressure. Inside you get juicy flesh with sweet tang and smooth texture. They suit snacking and sharing.

Taste and Texture

Spanish Limes taste sweet with mild acidity. The pulp is soft and slippery. Aroma stays tropical and citrus-like.

We source from Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Colombia, and Central America during peak harvests. Growers handpick clusters when skins turn bright green. Chilled transport protects the pulp as it reaches Canada.
