Seedless, oval-shaped, larger and sweeter than Key lime, with a thicker rind that gives it a longer shelf life and better resistance to handling and shipping. Mexico is the world's top Persian lime producer, grown mainly in \u003cstrong\u003eVeracruz, Oaxaca, and Jalisco\u003c\/strong\u003e (which together account for about 95% of national production), with additional volume from Colima, Hidalgo, Tabasco, Chiapas, and Yucatán.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Lime \/ Mexican Lime (Limón Criollo \/ Limón Agrio)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Smaller, thin-skinned, very aromatic and highly acidic, with a shorter shelf life than Persian lime. Historically the preferred variety for domestic consumption, though exports are increasing. \u003cstrong\u003eMichoacán\u003c\/strong\u003e is the leading producer, followed by Colima and Oaxaca — Michoacán's winter harvest window (December–February) lets it enter the market first each season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExport Snapshot\u003c\/strong\u003e — Over 95% of Mexican lime exports go to the United States, with additional shipments to the Netherlands, UK, France, Canada, Japan, and other European markets.
