The finger lime is Australia’s unique and amazing citrus – citrus australasica. Many varieties of this magnificent fruit still grow wild as an understory tree in and about the rainforest areas of south east Queensland and the northern rivers of New South Wales.

The skin of the finger lime contains hundreds of juice-full pearls (vesicles). Their taste and colour differs naturally from one variety to another and within varieties.

Finger lime pearls were consumed as a food by indigenous Australians for many thousands of years before the citron – citrus medica – became known in the Mediterranean region in about 300 BC.

The pearls of the finger lime are often referred to as Australia’s superfood because of their immunity-boosting nutrition. 

Our lime caviar is 100% natural finger lime pearls (vesicles), extracted from quality fresh finger limes, frozen and packed for dispatch.

It is delicate, delicious, haute cuisine ready and is available all-year in 4 varieties – Sunrise (red), Pink Pearl (pink), Chartreuse (yellow) and Emerald (green).

It is additive-free, gluten-free, allergen-free, vegan and high in folate, potassium and vitamins C and E.

The taste, texture and structure of the juice-full pearls is amazing and addictive!

Launched to the market in mid 2018, lime caviar can now be found in an increasing number of top-end restaurants, cocktail bars, hotels, resorts, casinos, convention centres, catering houses and retail outlets around the world.

We recommend that it be served frozen. It is spoonable and thaws readily. The frozen shelf life is long.
