Hello! My name is Mike, and I live in Hillcrest Village in a city called North York in Ontario, Canada. Besides filberts and chocolate, my interests include movies (>3000 seen and counting), writing, Celtic things, stone circles, music and baking. I also recently got married to a wonderful, sweet, kind and beautiful Thai-Chinese Lady; we have a beautiful young girl. I am German in heritage, Canadian in heart.

Sweet Limes
These were labelled with the little tag as SweetLimes. Don't know what they're about. They were definitely sweet inside, not sour. And yellowish outside. And, they have seeds, which limes don't have, so they must be a cross with another fruit.
I've done some checking on the 'Net, and it may be that these are the Indian sweet limes, as seen in the movie The Darjeeling Limited. Also known as Citrus Limetta, they grow them in the States too. The Indian ones look to be quite big.

Neat citrus. Sweet Lime must be the trademark name.
I would say it's Calamansi. Since they look like lime but are sweet. But calamansi is much smaller.
