Lime juice FAQ

Does lime juice contain vitamin C?

Yes, lime juice is a rich source of vitamin C. A single fluid ounce (approximately 29.5 milliliters) of lime juice contains about 13 milligrams of vitamin C, which is about 14-17% of the recommended daily value for adults which ranges between 75-90 milligrams.

Is lime juice low FODMAP?

Yes, lime juice is considered low FODMAP. FODMAP is an acronym for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols, which are specific types of carbohydrates that can be difficult for some people to digest. Including low FODMAP foods in your diet can help manage conditions like IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).

Is lime juice keto?

Yes, lime juice can be included in a ketogenic (keto) diet. A ketogenic diet is low in carbohydrates, and although lime juice contains some sugar (around 1.4 grams in one fluid ounce), the quantity is small enough that it can typically be included in a balanced ketogenic diet without exceeding carb limits.

Is lime juice gluten free?

Yes, lime juice is naturally gluten-free. Gluten is a type of protein found in wheat, rye, and barley, none of which are found in lime juice. However, if purchasing a bottled lime juice, make sure to check labels as very rare instances may have additives containing gluten. If you’re squeezing the juice fresh from the fruit, it will be gluten free.
