Hip Tip: Citrus “Caviar” March 6, 2012

citrus caviar

If you’re looking for a super fancy way to garnish your cocktails or anything else that’s delicious with lime, get yourself a package of Finger Limes.  These funny looking little limes are known as citrus “caviar” because they house beautiful, tiny balls of tart citrusy goodness.  They look like roe but taste like a burst of lime.  Serve them on your favorite ceviche or on oysters.

Finger limes are available (from Australia) from January through April.  Fresh Direct recently had finger limes available, but I don’t see them listed this week.  Look for them at your local grocery store, or ask for them in the produce section and hopefully they’ll start to carry them.
