Finger Limes: Uses & Health Benefits

How To Eat Them, Cooking Tips & Uses to Improve Health

Hi Everyone!

Have you heard of finger limes? My nephew is a Michelin Star chef, so whenever he and his wife stop by, I know I’m in for a culinary adventure. Their latest visit was no exception—they introduced me to finger limes, a delicious fruit with an unexpected interior. Though their name hints at their citrusy taste, their outward appearance might trick you into thinking you’re about to bite into a tiny cucumber. Let’s explore finger limes, where to find them, their nutritional benefits, and how to use them in cooking.

Have a wonderful day!
