Caviar Lime / Red Finger Lime - Citrus Asutralasica - 3 Seeds

The finger lime has been recently popularised as a gourmet bushfood. The globular juice vesicles (also known as pearls) have been likened to a "lime caviar", which can be used as a garnish or added to various recipes. The fresh vesicles have the effect of a burst of effervescent tangy flavour as they are chewed. The fruit juice is acidic and similar to that of a lime. Marmalade and pickles are also made from finger lime. Finger lime peel can be dried and used as a flavouring spice.
Commercial use of finger lime fruit started in the mid-1990s with boutique marmalades made from wild harvested fruit. By 2000 the finger lime was being sold in restaurants, and exported fresh.
Caviar lime, also known as finger lime, is rich in vitamin C and other nutrients, offering potential medicinal uses like boosting immunity, aiding digestion, and promoting healthy skin and teeth.
