About Lime popsicle
A lime popsicle is a frozen dessert made primarily from lime juice, sugar, and water. Popular in many cuisines worldwide, especially as a refreshing summer treat, the lime popsicle originates from citrus cultivation regions like Southeast Asia and the Mediterranean. Its nutritional profile largely depends on its ingredients and preparation. Fresh lime juice is rich in vitamin C, while popsicles made with added sugar can be higher in calories. Some variations include artificial sweeteners or added flavors which change the nutrient content. When made with natural lime juice and minimal added sweeteners, lime popsicles can offer a light, hydrating dessert option containing modest amounts of micronutrients from the lime juice itself, such as small amounts of potassium and antioxidants.
Health Benefits
- Rich in vitamin C (19.5mg per fluid ounce of lime juice) which supports immune system function and collagen production.
- Contains antioxidants like flavonoids and limonoids that may protect cells from free radical damage.
- Provides a small amount of potassium (5mg per fluid ounce of lime juice) which supports electrolyte balance and heart health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in a freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or below. Consume within 2-3 months for optimal flavor and texture.
