Finger Limes - Brown

Details

Finger limes are known as citrus caviar for good reason - and the black-skinned variety is the rarest and most visually dramatic of them all.

Each finger-shaped fruit is packed with tiny, pearl-like vesicles that look like fish roe and behave like it too, holding their shape until you bite in and releasing a concentrated burst of zingy, tart citrus flavour.

Erin's brown finger limes have a beautiful pink hue to the pearls - striking against the dark skin and stunning as a garnish or finishing touch on any dish.

The flavour is tart and bright with a touch of bitterness, sitting somewhere between lime, grapefruit and lemon with a freshness that's unmistakably citrus.

Use them raw to get the best from those extraordinary pearls - heat dulls their flavour and texture.
Slice in half and squeeze or scoop the pearls directly over oysters, sashimi, ceviche or grilled scallops. Scatter over avocado, tacos, grain bowls or salads.
Float over cocktails and gin and tonics. Spoon onto cheesecake, tarts or panna cotta.
A little goes a very long way - and nothing else looks or tastes like it.

Rich in vitamin C, folate, potassium and vitamin E, finger limes are as nutritious as they are beautiful.

Storage

Keep finger limes in the fridge where they'll stay fresh for up to two weeks.

They also freeze beautifully - pop them in an airtight bag whole and use straight from frozen, slicing while still firm for the neatest pearls.
Don't waste a single one.

Our Growers

Your brown finger limes are grown by Erin in Gisborne - one of a small number of growers in New Zealand producing this extraordinary fruit.
Finger lime trees are notoriously slow and difficult to grow, taking several years to reach maturity and producing fruit in limited quantities, which is part of what makes fresh NZ-grown finger limes so special.
Gisborne's warm, sunny climate provides ideal conditions for these rare citrus trees to thrive and produce fruit of exceptional quality.
