Also called Native Limes or Citrus Caviar, Finger Limes are a little known Australian native fruit. Finger Limes are a member of the citrus family found in northern New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland. The edible pulp is a dense mass of individual pearl-like cells which, when bitten, burst open giving a wild infusion of tangy lime. The pulp is available in myriad colours making it a unique visual and textural addition to your meal or drink, as well as adding a fresh citrus flavour.

This innovative packaging solution has been specifically developed for the retail and export markets. Microgreens are grown in a non-soil biodegradable medium and placed in a durable plastic container which is sealed with a breathable tamper-evident film. This container provides a superior shelf life by helping to maintain an ideal temperature and protecting the product in transit. Stackability also increases the units per pallet during transportation.
