Estimated delivery between 三月 28 and 三月 31.
The Finger Lime, scientifically known as Citrus australasica, is a small, elongated citrus fruit native to the rainforests of Australia. Also known as the Australian Finger Lime, this unique fruit is often described as "caviar of the citrus world" because of its tiny, juicy vesicles that burst with flavor when bitten into. With its tangy, zesty taste and vibrant color, the Finger Lime adds an exciting twist to any dish or drink, making it a favorite for both chefs and home cooks alike.

- Vibrant Colors: The Finger Lime comes in a variety of colors, including green, yellow, pink, and purple, adding a pop of color to dishes and beverages.
