Fruit Characteristics

• The Pulp: Features jewel-like, translucent light-green or whitish pearls that hold a clean, sharply acidic, and highly refreshing lime flavour.
• The Skin: Produces elongated, finger-shaped fruits measuring roughly 6 to 12 cm long with a dark green to brownish-green outer skin. 
• Culinary Use: Highly prized by premium restaurants as a gourmet garnish. The separate vesicles prevent the juice from soaking into food, making it perfect for oysters, fresh seafood, and floating in cocktails.
