We have four finger lime trees,and have had a bumper crop on the older tree this year.
Have taken them to a market in Coffs Harbour and people don’t know anything about them.Am now downloading recipes to try myself.

Hi Finger Lime lovers, we are growers and suppliers of the fruit on the north coast of NSW. I sell them at the local farmer’s markets, make a wicked cordial and marmalade (gold medal winner at the Sudney Royal….). You can buy our products online,but fresh fruit is dwindling as the season comes to a close. Without a doubt these are the best limes on the world!

Hi Kerry

Thanks for the tip and for taking the time to leave a comment. I’ll certainly visit next time I’m in the Gold Coast. I love finding out about new fruit! I’ve been introduced to some crazy Brazilian fruit recently. Amazing!

Hi Fouad and blogger friends,

I have not tried finger limes as yet but if ever you find yourself visiting the Gold Coast, where I live, you must visit Avocado World. I was listening to an interview the other day about the various plants they have and sure enough, they have finger limes and also the plants. They mentioned many other exotic fruits which I am sure you could create a great dish Fouad.

Dude! These are awesome! Thanks for sharing this post (as this is the first time I’ve heard of these finger limes). Give me some oysters and top them up with these; beautiful!

Kristy – They are great. What were they saying on TV?

Lili – Thanks for sharing. They do look thorny, but that never stopped us from harvesting blackberries… Strange that they haven’t taken off really. I was like you when I saw them, thinking the market would go nuts!

Joumana – Thanks! My photo skills are improving! I’m not sure how popular they would be in Lebanon, since even here they are hard to find.

I love that photo; it looks totally like something out of former Gourmet magazine! These finger limes are too unique, plus you get a caviar looking thing inside! Wow! we should grow them in Lebanon

I LOVE finger limes. I first heard about them years ago when I lived on the farm and I expected them to explode onto the market. But they’ve stayed relatively hard to find, even on the north coast where they grow easily (and are from, I think). It could be due to the ridiculously huge spikes that cover the branches making harvesting dangerous – I know this is one reason why my Dad doesn’t grow them. (check it out: http://sapientae.net.au/ea/photos/Sept05/Sept05-Pages/Image0.html )
Regardless, they are so delicious and pretty too. They come in a range of colours from pink through yellow to green. Oh now I want finger limes not this lame green mango!

Ooh, these look really interesting.
I actually saw something on tv today about finger limes.
I think I may have to find some and try them.
