Best Answer

Rolling, with pressure, any citrus fruit prior to cutting, releases the juice from the membranes inside. The 'membranes" are the pulp you see in the juice itself. They are like tiny compartments that hold the juice. By rolling, you break them down slightly, releasing the juice of the fruit.

What is the best way to get the most juice from a lime?

There are a couple of ways to increase the juice you'll get. One is the roll the lime on the counter top pressing down firmly. Basically your breaking up the flesh of the lime inside before you cut it in half. This starts the juice flowing. Another way is to put the whole lime in the microwave for around 10 seconds. Not so long that it gets too hot. The effect is the same. The heat breaks down the flesh in the lime so the juice is free to run.
