From refreshing beverages to sweet baked goods, this Vita-Pakt ingredient is used across numerous industries and applications. It features a vibrant lime flavor, a fragrant citrus aroma, and beneficial nutritional properties.

A Natural Citrus Ingredient

Vita-Pakt Lime Flavedo is manufactured from Persian and Key Lime varieties that are grown primarily in Mexico and California. Tended by multigenerational farmers, our limes are harvested at peak maturity to ensure the best flavor. All the limes we process are rescued from traditional food waste streams and upcycled. This allows us to create useful ingredients, such as our Lime Flavedo, from fruit that would have otherwise been discarded.

Flavedo is the technical term for the colored, outermost layer of the lime peel. This part of the peel contains the aromatic essential oils that contribute to the fruit’s distinctive flavor and fragrance. It also features various micro and macronutrients, including dietary fiber, which supports good digestive (gut) health and overall well-being maintenance.

Producing the Highest Quality Lime Flavedo

With over 75 years of experience, Vita-Pakt is a leading processor and supplier of industrial citrus ingredients. We adhere to the most stringent guidelines in the world at our state-of-the-art, GFSI-certified production facilities. Each lime is carefully washed and inspected for quality attributes. The lime peel is extracted and shaved using our proprietary process, then the shaved flavedo is finely ground and mixed with sugar and oil. This results in a sweetened lime zest that’s perfect for many applications. It does not contain artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives that could detract from the fruit’s natural organoleptic characteristics.
