Following on from the previous post, I checked the Brix of this lime hybrid, which measures the sugar content of the juice, and it showed a reading of 12 and another fruit of 15, which is the % of sucrose. Most limes max out around 7-8, but the parentage has mandarin so this will obviously increase the levels. Acid levels must be slightly lower as well, so the sugars are more noticeable. A blood orange I checked here which wasn’t quite ripe but still excellent flavour was 10. Another lime hybrid was 7.5. So you can see this is a good result.
