They are about 20 years old. Some taste like lime, others taste 'citrusy'. All taste fabulous. I use them in salads, drinks, pastes, wine and cakes. They are readily available in Brisbane - as are a lot of native foods - you just have to be aware of what you're looking for. And most people aren't. For example, the macadamia nut is an Australian native food. The finger limie is okay but I prefer the mangosteen and muntries. I have four finger lime bushes in my backyard.

It's even hard to find here in Australia. I buy finger limes from the Balmain (Sydney) markets on Saturdays. According to the grower, the fruit is seasonal (unlike a lemon), and the trees don't seem to have a huge yield. But they are wonderful little fruits. Cut in half, and roll around with a bit of pressure between your thumb and index finger and the little pearls start falling out. I use them on sushi for a bit of something different. Yep!

Supply is very limited. I have been able to get only 40 trees over the last four years, the first of which are now bearing fruit. The fruit is available around March/April. My trees produced only 50 limes this year but I expect 3 or 4 times as many next season & hopefully more as the trees mature. We are developing many fabulous recipes using the finger limes. I can't wait til we get a really good harvest. I grow these wonderful fruit on my farm in Lovedale, NSW, Australia. Supply is very limited.

Most Australians don't know about them and they are hard to buy in Australia, amazing you can purchase them over there.

They really look like a great and promising 'new' (at least for me) ingredient. What are they called in German? Wow. They really look like a great and promising 'new' (at least for me) ingredient.
