A Good Source Of

Freshness Test
Look for limes with smooth skins as they generally have more juice.
Important
Citrus fruits, when taken in excess, are known to leech calcium from the body. All citrus fruits add citric acid to the body and so it's a good idea to get some exercise after having a citrus fruit drink.
General
Some people peel the skin and some don't. If you peel the skin, make sure you leave some of the white membrane on the fruit. The white membrane contains the bioflavonoids. The bioflavonoids help the body absorb and use Vitamin C.
I personally don't peel the skin and I like to combine ¼ to ½ lime, depending on the size, with a few apples.
Drink immediately after juicing to ensure you get all of the Vitamin C.
