Lime (material)

Lime is kind of like special dirt that can be used to make things stronger, stickier, and last longer. It's made from heating up a special kind of rock called limestone.

Once the limestone is heated up, it turns into a powder that can be mixed with water to make a paste. This paste is really good at sticking things together, like bricks or stones, and making them into strong buildings or walls.

But lime isn't just good for construction. It can also be used to make things like plaster, paint, and even food! When you eat something sour, like a lime fruit, that's also made from lime.

Overall, lime is a really useful material that helps us build strong things and create lots of other useful stuff too!
