  • High in Vitamin C: Blood Limes, like other citrus fruits, are a good source of vitamin C, an important antioxidant that supports the immune system, skin health, and wound healing. Vitamin C may also help reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall health.

    Dietary Fibre: Blood Limes provide dietary fibre, which is essential for digestive health. Fibre can help regulate bowel movements, reduce the risk of constipation, and support a healthy gut microbiome.

    Low in Calories: Blood Limes are relatively low in calories, making them a nutritious addition to a calorie-conscious diet. They can be included in various dishes, beverages, and snacks without significantly increasing calorie intake.

    Immune Support: Vitamin C is essential for a well-functioning immune system, and the vitamin C content in Blood Limes can help support your body's ability to fight off infections and illnesses.
