Finger Lime · Brisbane
Finger lime is the native Australian citrus that produces pearl-like beads of tart juice. South East Queensland-grown; the modern Brisbane fine-dining garnish standard.
The finger lime (Citrus australasica) is a native rainforest understory citrus from south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales. Indigenous people harvested wild finger limes for thousands of years; Quandamooka traditional knowledge holders used them as bushtucker citrus. Commercial cultivation began in the 1990s following research at the Department of Primary Industries; the fruit was promoted internationally as 'lime caviar' and now exports to over 30 countries. Brisbane chefs were early adopters: Joy, Agnes and e'cco bistro feature finger lime on oyster service, fresh kingfish ceviche and dessert. Most fruit is grown in the Granite Belt around Stanthorpe or coastal subtropical orchards.
