Finger limes are a new and unique citrus variety that continues to spark creativity in the kitchen. The finger lime’s inedible exterior resembles a pickling cucumber or cocktail avocado in shape and size. Its skin is thin, ranging in color from purplish or greenish-black to light green or rusty red.

When finger limes are sliced in half, the lime juice caviar is revealed. Apply gentle pressure, and the caviar will ooze out of the fruit like a lava flow.

Serve finger limes over salads, seafood, and any dish that is looking for a fresh pop of citrus with a creative presentation.

Choose slightly firm fruit with no scarring or bruises. Refrigerate for up to one week in a plastic bag.

Savor the tasty, delicate treat of tree-ripened fruit bursting with sunshine-sweet flavor and juice. This seedless variety is the result of open pollination of Kincy, King and Dancy mandarins.

The segments separate neatly for a quick snack, making them a great choice for eating out of hand.
