Limes are transcendental. We can transport our minds beyond the ordinary just from the aroma. That is because our sense of smell, or aromatherapy, triggers our memory more than any other sense. Lime essential oil is a very concentrated form of the essence of lime (aromatic compounds).
Think of a good childhood memory and food is undoubtedly integral to the memory; it gives the memory more context. The food memory is rooted and stored deeply in your mind due to the smell or aroma.
