Limettenkaviar (Finger Limes)

Finger Limes, also known as citrus caviar, are an exquisite ingredient that adds a special touch to any dish. Their intense, fresh citrus flavor makes them a fancy alternative to regular lemon or lime juice and enriches a variety of dishes – from salads and seafood to sushi.

The pulp of the finger lime consists of small, translucent globules that resemble caviar eggs. When chewed, they burst in the mouth and release a sparkling juice that serves as the perfect citrus seasoning, as the juice only comes into contact with the product when chewed.

Like other citrus fruits, citrus caviar offers numerous health benefits. It is rich in vitamin C, which can be up to five times higher than in a kiwi, and also contains polyphenols, which have an antioxidant effect.

Possible uses:

1. Raw and fresh – Perfect on freshly opened oysters: The sparkling citrus flavor harmonizes sensationally with the fine sea note.
2. Delicious accompaniment for seafood – Finger Lime Caviar over lightly fried scallops or on grilled prawns provides an unmistakable accent.
3. In sauces and dips – Refine guacamole with finger lime pearls or mix them into a ponzu sauce with finger lime, ginger and a pinch of chili for a hint of spiciness.
4. For desserts and refreshments – Finger Lime complements both a lemon cheesecake garnish and a tangy lemon sorbet. Simple refreshments can be made with finger lime slices in sparkling water.
5. As jam or aioli – Finger Limes can be used to make an aromatic jam thanks to the natural pectin. A finger lime aioli with olive oil and garlic is suitable for special dishes.
6. Storage – The fruits can be easily frozen without losing any of their flavor or texture, providing citrus freshness on demand at all times.

This delicate citrus fruit brings a breath of fresh air to your kitchen and gives even simple dishes a touch of gourmet quality. Ideal for gourmets looking for new taste experiences!
