Caviar Lime, organic var. Faustrime
100 grams (approx. 2 fruits)Origin: Francofonte
Characteristics
Better known as Caviar Lime, it is sweeter than lemon and perfectly suited for fish dishes.
The Faustrime variety is distinguished by its white beads. The finger lime fruits cultivated in Sicily are larger (about 5 centimeters in length) than those cultivated in Australia.
This finger-shaped lime (hence the name "finger lime" from English, weighing around 40-60 grams) is not particularly attractive from the outside.
Its peculiarity lies in the fruit's pulp, which consists of a collection of individual juicy vesicles that resemble caviar in size and consistency.
There are several varieties, distinguished by the color of their pulp, which ranges from opaque to pink, from lime green to yellow, and from red to vibrant burgundy.
When you bite into the pulp of a finger lime, the vesicles almost explode in your mouth, releasing their distinctive tart flavor.
Extremely decorative, Finger Lime is offered as an ingredient for gastronomic preparations for gourmets and gourmands.
