Reply to comment by DroolingIguana in TIL that Persian limes, the fruit that most Americans and Europeans know as simply “limes” are actually a hybrid of lemons and real limes, what we call “Key limes” today by evclides

Key Limes were a common cash crop for early Florida Keys settlers to supplement the Pineapple and Mango(when there was enough soil) crops. They're not native to the Keys though, the name was just marketing.
