G’day, mates! Have you ever heard of the Australian Finger Lime? If not, you’re in for a treat. This quirky and delightful fruit is a true gem from Down Under, and it’s bursting with flavour and fun.
What’s a Finger Lime, Anyway?
The Australian Finger Lime, also known as Citrus australasica, is a native rainforest fruit that’s been charming taste buds for centuries. Imagine a tiny lime, but instead of regular lime segments, it’s filled with caviar-like pearls that pop with tangy, zesty goodness. These little pearls are often called “lime caviar,” and once you try them, you’ll understand why.
Why We Love It
Finger Limes are not just a feast for the palate but also a visual delight. Their vibrant colours range from green to pink, and sometimes even red or purple. They’re perfect for adding a splash of Aussie sunshine to your dishes.
How to Use Finger Limes
If you’ve got a green thumb, why not try growing your own Finger Lime tree? They’re well-suited to Australian climates and can even be grown in pots. Just make sure they get plenty of sunshine and a bit of TLC, and you’ll be rewarded with your very own supply of lime caviar.
Where to Buy
Finger Limes are becoming more popular, so you can find them at specialty grocers or farmers’ markets. Keep an eye out for them when they’re in season, typically from January to April.
