Native Australian Finger limes are a small, slender, oblong-shaped fruit. They are filled with juicy little bead-like crystals that look a lot like caviar.
The lime's tangy juice is great for drinks, desserts, and marmalade. Mature Finger lime comes in a wide range of colours, such as green, yellow, purple, pink, and even bright red.
This delicious citrus fruit has been enjoyed by Indigenous Australian’s for thousands of years and used as a topical medicine for its antiseptic properties.
