More Info: Rangpurs are highly acidic and can be used as a substitute for limes. However the word "lime" in the name is misleading, because there are very few similarities between the Rangpur and other limes. The Rangpur is a highly acidic fruit that resembles the mandarin in appearance, and in fact, it is also known as mandarin lime. Rangpur limes are aromatic, juicy, sour, and highly acidic with a complex, floral, smoky, and musky tangerine-lime flavor.
