Citrus Finger Lime (Caviar of Citrus) The delicate finger limes usually measure 6-10cm long, shaped like small pickles with ends that taper to points. It’s what is inside that makes them unique when cut in half, they reveal a multitude of tiny spherical vessels ranging in colour from pale yellowish green to nearly pink. The bubbles are squeezed out and can be eaten or used in cooking. When chewed, they pop in your mouth, releasing their tart lime juice. Chefs who use them serve them alongside seafood, sushi, pasta, and other foods that benefit from the crunchy pop of the bubbles and their tart, citrusy flavour. Can be used in making jams and marmalades or as a garnish for puddings, cheesecakes, ice cream and other decadent desserts
