Citrus contains a lot of vitamin C. Early sailors in England survived scurvy by eating a lot of limes..and that is why they got the name "limey's". This is a recipe from India and can be used for any citrus fruit..be sure to slice them thin, you can use a mandolin or sharp knife...don't make too thin about 1/8-inch thick is...
