Yes they do differ in colour & shape,but the main difference is that limes are more sour than lemons,besides the flavour is very different.I grow both these citrus fruits,after I run out of limes i then harvest the lemons,they are interchangable as far as my kitchen requirments go,but the difference in sour quality has to be borne in mind.

Besides the obvious facts of taste, size, and color, limes are picked off the trees immature, but not yet ripe. Lemons are picked both mature and ripe.

definitely, you may not constantly choose them by means of the colour. My grandfather had a lime tree that often grew orange limes on it. the version is interior the flavor. They the two have a bitter tang to them, yet lemons, i will not think of anybody eating in simple terms on their very own. A lime, as long as that's ripe and in case you have a flavor for them, ought to be. (whether, with regard to the only element different than cakes and seven-UP that i will think of of that they actually get used for is the two to combine with beverages or for sucking on with tequila.) yet have confidence me, they are diverse culmination.

The taste!!! Both are citrus fruits and both are 'zesty', but they have completely different flavours.
e.g: Key Lime Pie v. Lemon Meringue Pie
