> Based on the description and images, the fruit you're referring to is likely a sweet lime or sweet lemon, also known as mosambi in India. This citrus fruit is green or yellowish-green on the outside and is less juicy than an orange, with a taste that’s milder and sweeter than a lime. It's popular in tropical regions and is known for being refreshing and nutritious.
