What is the difference between key limes and “regular” limes?

Key limes are a type of lime that is slightly smaller and more tart than the typical Persian (“regular”) lime.

Regular limes are larger, rounder, and slightly sweeter than their smaller cousins. Key limes have a more intense flavor due to higher levels of citric acid and they are often the preferred choice in recipes calling for lime juice or zest.
