Squeeze the limes in your palm. Limes are ready to pick when they give slightly under gentle pressure. A lime that is still hard is not yet ripe and won't be juicy. Pick one lime, cut into it and sample its fruit. If the lime feels heavy for its size and the fruit inside tastes fresh and acidic, it is ready to be eaten.
Many people think that lemons, like other types of fruit, will ripen further once they are off the tree. However, this is not true. Once you pick a lemon, it will not ripen further. It may become more amenable to juicing or other culinary uses after a storage period.
