If you\u2019re going to leave the limes in your kitchen counter at room temperature, they will probably last for a week and get mushy the week after. But, if you want to make them available for use longer, you can refrigerate the plastic bag containing the limes to last for at least three (3) to four (4) weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-image-640\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-11-640x360.jpg\" alt=\"How Many Wedges in Lime\" class=\"wp-image-10705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-11-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-11-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-11-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-11-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-11-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-11-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-11-960x540.jpg 960w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-11-1168x657.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-11-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-11.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>How long are limes good for<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, if you want to use your limes for 3 months or so, you can freeze them and keep them stored at a zero-degree freezing temperature.
