US-based specialty produce leader Frieda's has introduced California-grown organic finger limes to its product range.
Seen as a gourmet ingredient, the small specialty limes are now in season, and Frieda’s said that it expects to have supplies through December.
“We have been shipping finger limes to chefs all over the country for several years, so we are very excited to have more plentiful supplies of these eye-catching finger limes,' said Karen Caplan, Frieda’s president and CEO. 'Consumers can now find them in upscale supermarkets nationwide. All kinds of citrus fruits are trending right now, so this is just the latest in Frieda’s line of specialty citrus.'
Finger lime skin colour ranges from dark green to rusty red, and inside are greenish white to pink caviar-like bubbles of tangy citrus that pop on the tongue.
