A Vision Born from Passion and Purpose
In 2006, Jesse Rodriguez and Cristy Lopez took a bold step: they moved to California with dreams of building a better future. After working in a variety of jobs, their entrepreneurial spirit led them to start a business in 2013 focused on importing fresh fruits and vegetables from Mexico to the United States.
Their signature product?
Fresh Mexican limes.
They quickly made a name for themselves in the Los Angeles wholesale market and expanded across the U.S. and into Canada. Over time, customers affectionately began calling Cristy “The Lime Lady,” a nickname she embraced and proudly displayed on her business cards. Although they offered other Mexican products—like tomatoes and bell peppers—limes were always at the heart of their business.
A Natural Shift: From Fresh Limes to Key Lime Powder
As the U.S. demand for fresh key limes began to decline, Jesse and Cristy pivoted toward innovation. They saw an opportunity to preserve the essence of the lime in a more practical and versatile form: powdered lime juice.
They began dehydrating Mexican key limes in their home country with a clear focus on the restaurant and food processing industry. The result was a finely crafted product that Cristy herself loved and used daily in her kitchen—whether for preparing lemonades, sauces, or marinades.
The Turning Point: Pandemic and Global Kitchens
In 2020, as the world faced lockdowns and uncertainty, Cristy had a powerful insight:
“What if people didn’t have to leave their homes just to get a lime?”
Amid growing health concerns and the global emphasis on vitamin C, The Lime Lady Key Lime Juice Powder became more than a product—it became a solution.
Cristy’s mission evolved: to bring convenience, consistency, and citrus flavor to kitchens everywhere. Today, The Lime Lady has distributors in both the U.S. and Mexico, and the product continues to reach more homes and chefs around the world.
The Dehydration Process: Quality You Can Taste
The Lime Lady’s success isn’t just about its story—it’s about how the product is made. The dehydration process behind the powder is a key factor in delivering the vibrant flavor of fresh key limes in every serving.
What Makes It Special:
- 100% Natural: No artificial colors, preservatives, or additives. Just pure lime.
- Controlled Dehydration: The powder is produced through a carefully monitored drying process that maintains essential oils and flavor compounds.
- Microbiological Safety: Thanks to its low moisture content, the powder resists the growth of bacteria, fungi, and yeasts—making it perfect for long-term storage.
- Physicochemical Stability: The pH, acidity, and texture remain consistent in every batch, guaranteeing a standardized taste and performance.
- High Yield: A single 2.2 lb bag can make up to 5 gallons of reconstituted lime juice—with zero waste.
This high level of quality control ensures that every scoop of Key Lime Juice Powder delivers the same refreshing citrus profile, time and time again.
