Finger Lime , also known as Pearl Lime or Finger Lime in English, is a unique and fascinating citrus fruit native to Australia. This variety of lemon produces elongated fruits resembling small cucumbers or fingers, hence its name Finger Lime.

Finger lime fruits have a thin, colorful skin that can range from green to yellow, even red or purple. What makes finger lime so special is the juicy little pearls inside, which look like caviar pearls. These pearls are filled with small bubbles of translucent juice that burst with a tangy flavor when you consume them.

Each pearl of the lemon caviar explodes with a vibrant and intense lemony flavor. The texture is similar to that of caviar, but the taste is that of lemon, offering a unique sensory experience.

Finger lime is an exquisite citrus fruit that not only adds a unique visual dimension to dishes, but also an explosion of tangy flavors. Its growing popularity in gourmet cooking makes it a prized ingredient by many chefs for its versatility and gastronomic appeal.
