First up, the overachievers. Lemon and lime are the gateway fruits to flavored water. They’re the reliable friends who show up on time and never cause drama.
But here’s a shocking fact: lemon water is actually acidic as heck. That’s why it can wake up your taste buds—and also slowly etch tiny holes in your tooth enamel if you sip it all day. Drink it fast, or use a straw. Otherwise, your dentist will send you a passive-aggressive postcard.
Lime is basically lemon’s edgy cousin. It’s a bit more bitter, which is why it loves hanging out with mint to mask its attitude. Pro tip: roll it on the counter before cutting—it releases more juice and makes you feel like a chef.
