description Dried Finger Lime Caviar Overview

Dried finger lime caviar consists of dehydrated juice vesicles from the Australian finger lime, Citrus australasica. Fresh finger limes are distinguished by separate bead-like vesicles that spill from the fruit and burst when bitten, giving rise to the culinary name "citrus caviar." In dried form, the ingredient provides concentrated tart citrus flavour and can be used as a garnish or seasoning where fresh finger lime pulp is impractical.
