The exact number of limes in a pound can vary depending on their size and variety, but here are some additional details:
- Small limes (Key limes): These typically weigh about 2 ounces each, so you’d get roughly 8 limes per pound.
- Medium limes (standard Persian limes): These typically weigh about 3 ounces each, so you’d get about 5 or 6 limes per pound.
- Large limes: These can weigh around 4 ounces or more each, which would give you about 4 or 5 limes per pound.
The average number falls between 4 to 6 limes, but it can go higher or lower depending on the size of the limes.
