Finger limes are also known as citrus caviar. They’re appropriately named in both regards: they’re finger sized, finger shaped and contain little beads of citrus lime action.
They’re great for use in drinks, in soups or over any food that would benefit from a splash of lime in a unique format.
The last thing I made with these was some chipotle lime quinoa. The advantage of using citrus caviar was that the first thing I tasted when I put the quinoa in my mouth was savory spicy chipotle and as I began to chew the quinoa I got the nutty quinoa and zesty lime. It was definitely an evolution of flavor that you can’t get from ordinary lime.
I hope you find these at your local market!
This is Christie, signing off!

I thought we had everything in NYC but Miami has proven me wrong… it’s kind of refreshing. 🙂
I really wish I could find those! So intriguing!
