The bags labelled "key limes" that are in my refrigerator now also
have labelling indicating that they were grown in Mexico. They do have
seeds. I seem to remember reading on the web (so it must be true) that
Key limes and Mexican limes are one and the same, that there are
relatively few key limes grown in the Keys nowadays because the real
estate is used in more lucrative ways, and that most key limes now
come from Mexico.
