Finger Lime

Finger limes, scientifically known as Citrus australasica, are a unique and visually striking variety of citrus fruit. They derive their name from their elongated, finger-like shape and small size. Finger limes are typically green or reddish-brown on the outside, and when sliced open, they reveal a treasure trove of tiny, bead-like juice vesicles that resemble caviar. These vesicles burst with a burst of tangy, zesty flavour, making finger limes a gourmet citrus delicacy.

Finger limes are enjoyed by cutting them in half and gently squeezing the juice vesicles onto dishes. The bead-like vesicles can be used as a unique garnish for various culinary creations. They add a burst of citrusy flavour and a delightful pop of texture to salads, seafood dishes, cocktails, and desserts.

Finger limes are prized by chefs and food enthusiasts for their extraordinary appearance and flavour. They are often used to elevate dishes and beverages, offering a fresh and vibrant citrus experience. Finger lime pearls can be used as a garnish for sushi, sashimi, and seafood platters, enhancing both the taste and presentation. In mixology, finger lime juice or pearls can be incorporated into cocktails, creating a visually stunning and flavourful element. Additionally, finger limes can be used to infuse a citrusy twist into desserts, dressings, and sauces.
