What Are Finger Limes?

Often referred to as “citrus caviar,” finger limes are a native Australian citrus fruit known for their elongated shape and jewel-like pearls inside.

When opened, the fruit reveals tiny, bead-like vesicles that burst with bright, tangy flavour. These pearls add a fresh, zesty pop to dishes and drinks, making them a favourite among chefs and food lovers alike.

Finger limes are incredibly versatile — perfect for:

  • Seafood and oysters
  • Cocktails and sparkling drinks
  • Desserts and garnishes
  • Modern fine dining

Difference between Brown and Green?

Green and brown finger limes each offer a unique citrus experience.

Green varieties deliver a bright, zesty burst with crisp acidity, perfect for fresh seafood and cocktails.

Brown finger limes are more rounded and complex, with a softer citrus profile and subtle earthy notes, ideal for richer dishes and desserts. 

Both feature the signature pearl-like texture that adds flavour, freshness, and visual impact to any plate.
