The
finger lime is a small thorny citrus tree that occurs naturally in rainforests
from northern NSW to Northern Queensland. It has fragrant white flowers and small
cylindrical citrus-like fruits that can vary in colour from lime green to
yellow to champagne pink to purple when ripe. These delightful fruits contain
individual vesicles like caviar that burst in your mouth with the fresh
rejuvenating flavour of the rainforest.
The taste of these
intriguing fruits is nothing short of fantastic! These fruits are beautiful to
break open and bite into. They don’t have the sour punch of other limes and are
a sheer delight burstsng with fresh lime flavour shooting into your
mouth. They are genuine refreshment, and were known to settlers working in the
bush as a thirst quencher. They make a tasty marmalade with a unique,
distinctive flavour – what a way to liven the taste buds! Most supply of
these wonderful Limes has been to the export market. Australians have
only recently discovered that this is yet another of our unique & delicious
Australian native products that we have been missing out on. Native finger
limes look spectacular, taste divine and have endless possibilities. Try some
you can’t go wrong!
