Key Limes

Where (and when) can I get them fresh in Philly? Thank you!

    I saw bags of them at Sue's (18th and Sansom) a couple days ago.

      I saw them in Whole Foods at Plymouth Mtg last week, but didn't catch the price.

        First time attempt at Key Lime Pie. Now that the Blonde Giraffe is out of business, I have to give it a shot.

          One of the easiest pies to make. You'll do great!

            Grrrr.....no key limes at TJ's, Whole Foods, or Acme. Bottled will have to do for now.

                Ippolito's has undergone some major upgrades in the past few months, you can get a lot of neat stuff there now: organic milk, more produce, etc.

                  I know - they had wegu beef one week and I saw a sign about organic/pastured chicken in addition to all the produce and other organics they have been carrying. I also appreciate the signs indicating where and how the seafood is caught or farmed.

        Trader Joe's has them by the bag.

            The Quakertown Market had them a few weeks ago as well. Not sure if they stock them all the time (probably not), but they were of good quality and cheap when I was there. Good luck!
