I hit up Specialty Produce today, my favorite produce warehouse. Limes
were on my list of things to buy, so I checked out their website to
see which limes they have. I saw they have finger limes, never heard
of them, but they sure sounded interesting, so on my list they went.
I found them with the help of one of the warehouse men, he was nice
enough to cut one open so I could try it. Inside are little beads of
lime loveliness, like lime caviar, that you scrape out and use. Dang,
are these ever p.o.t.e.n.t.
Just the inside of the lime is used, he said they are great sprinkled
over salads, so when you bite into one of the beads you get a nice
little explosion of lime.
I'm putting some on my salmon tonight, mmmm.
Love finding new and wonderful things to try.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of finger limes before either.. bet they'd
be a nice garnish for several cocktails... perhaps in ice cream.

Looks good to me, I have seen finger limes on Chopped.
