Green finger limes, like all finger lime fruit, are unique in appearance and taste and are tropical natives of Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach finger lime fruit looks like a fat little finger. Inside the rough, thin skin is a lot of caviar- like vesicles which release a unique lime juice when places in the mouth or crushed. Highly prized by chefs and home cooks, finger limes grow well in a warm sunny place or a container.
