Interesting video A friend uses Finger Limes in Margaritas he makes He used a bunch of the pulplets whole added to the Margaritas as he makes them So as you drink the Margarita , you also chew up the pulp
Just for clarification. The farmer was speaking French and "citronelle" is use for "lemongrass" when talking about food and flavor but is also use for "citronella" when talking about mosquitto reppelant and fragrance. Those plants are different but as the French language use one name for both of them, and most people don't even know what the plants look like it is often thought to be just one thing. But I can assume that he meant "lemongrass" when he said "citronnelle" and talked about it's uses in sauces. "Citronella" is much more pungent and medicine-ish to be refered as a desirable trait in flavor profile.
Fun fact! The finger lime peels are high in citronellol, the terpene responsible for Citronellas scent! So he might have truly meant citronella flavor!
@@sdfkjgh what people usually call citronella oil is extracted from a different lemon grass than the species in the same genus -- _Cymbopogon citratus_ -- that produces culinary lemongrass and also what people usually call lemongrass oil. the difference is huge ... lemongrass oil is predominantly citral, which is basically (or completely) absent in citronella oil. citral is a bright lemony flavor i prefer to real lemon oil in food. without that dominant citral component, the lemony chemicals in citronella oil are basically lemon-ish in an oily insect repellant manner that gets old very fast. which is why it's used as insect repellant. fun fact for australian residents: oil from lemon myrtle leaves is closer to pure citral than lemongrass oil
Maybe next spring when mine bloom, I can pollinate them with my ponderosa lemon. I was thinking about doing that this year but didn't get a chance to. Though I think that it might need something a little sweeter to hybridize with. I might try it with a honeybell or tangerine too
funny you say this, as i have a black skin finger lime sitting under one of my lemonades and X pollinated some flowers yesterday lol ill also be crossing fingerlimes with tahitian lime, chandler pomelo and caracara orange
Awesome. I finally got 2 plants this year, green and red fruiting varieties. Both bloomed twice this year but didn't set fruit. Can't wait to try them.
I planted one a few years ago and it's sort of a neat oddity. I try to use them in food, but honestly I don't find them very useful. But they are resistant to citrus greening, so they are potentially a really valuable hybridization species. I'd like to start making some crosses with other citrus to see if the offspring are resistant too. At least here in Costa Rica citrus greening has become a real problem. So if the resistance could be inherited by the resulting hybrids, there might be a way to get resistance to the disease. Of course hybridizing citrus is a project for the patient as citrus can range from 3-10 years from seed to first fruit.
I like to mix finger lime into fruit salad. It gives it a nice pop of flavor. Also, I planted a finger lime about six months ago, but the nursery didn't know what kind it was. Can't wait to find out.
Thank the ATSI people responsible for cultivating the first finger lime kinds & making it possible for them to become more prominent. There's so many different kinds of bush tucker out around besides macadamia nuts (yes, that started from Australia) & finger limes such as desert raisins/bush tomatoes & edible eucalyptus kinds
Still waiting for your book. I have a friend, a horticulturist by training, collects interesting plants (we are in Australia) he has a huuuuge, collection of Finger Limes, each different in appearance, colour and taste.
this is just depressing to me. i grew a finger lime twenty years ago, nursed it for years and harvested two limes before i killed it with neglect. they were everything you'd hope for ... very limey flavor but not terribly sour. no idea which particular variety so i'm not tempted to grow a random variety and suffer disappointment. i've killed so many exotic citruses it breaks my heart. doesn't help living in melbourne, but we also have gall wasp now, and eventually they discover your citrus. iirc the finger limes are more resistant, but i've pretty much lost the will to live, let alone attempt another finger lime
@@5naxalotl Hello 5naxalotl, a couple of suggestions, if you live in a house, spend the money on a Green house, you can control water, heat, insects, humidity and diseases, second, I’ve had great success growing citrus in large containers, consider that. Even if you live in a unit, you usually have a balcony and you can convert a large container into a mini green house with some wire for a frame and heavy clear plastic. You can even provide under root heating cheaply with heating pads.
That sounds interesting. Citron is grown for its candy-able rind, and kumquats have edible rinds & good cold tolerance for a Citrus. I like the flavors in Citrus zest.
Ive seen these years ago on Self Sufficient Me, a gardener from Australia here on youtube and I've been thinking about them ever since- just cause they're so neat! Here in Germany they would be an inside plant and I know it might be tricky, but once I move into a bigger apartment I am set on trying. You already sold me on the piper sarmentosum which I now have growing here and it's so fun.
I’d like to see a cooking video with these! I can think of so many interesting applications beyond just topping a dessert (although that sounds great). You could add some to a pan sauce for seared chicken or fish (like you would use capers perhaps) Use them in a salad or dressing Mix them into a sorbet Garnish a cold soup (similar to gazpacho) Add it to a dairy product like yogurt with some sweetener and berries Maybe do something with raw fish like sashimi Stir them into drinks like tart little boba pearls Just feels like there’s so much potential with these fruits.
Having a rough couple of days due to Hurricane Helene and need something to calm my nerves and watching Jared works wonders. For one, I do exotic taste test of fruit on a MUCH smaller scale and usually from trees I grow myself on tiktok. So, I love watching him as the expert of one of my fave hobbies. Second, another way for me to calm down is retail therapy shopping for new tropical trees online lol and I use his fruit reviews to help choose. I just bought tonight based on his videos I watched today, a purple star apple and because the seller was having a great sale on fruit trees. I also bought a Kari starfruit tree and a red Australian finger lime. 😊😊 Edit: when he showed the price of just the fruit on Amazon for $29 😮 but a 2-3 ft tree is on sale at Etsy for $39 crazy
I really enjoy the comedy you have in your videos. The things said, the timing and the editing are just great! It's also not overdone so it actually makes me laugh when it randomly happens. Thank you!
Holy crap. Those prices are insane. This is a fruit I have had access to without even having to grow it. (obviously I am an Aussie) I am off to do some foraging.
You are hitting the nail. A minute ago I have watched the doku by Anthro man about Evolution of Citrus, mentioning the Australian species of Citrus - and now this! Thank you!!🥰 Edit: Great work! My heart was bleeding, when the seeds - fell down to the ground! 😅
Im glad these have become fairly readily available here in Australia, since they're native here. We really need more native foods to become more abundant
I’d love to try finger limes at some point, not a lot of unusual fruits available around here though. We just found out today that there are several feijoa bushes growing at our local botanical garden, though!
I've actually grown these, and WOW they are a massive pain in the ass to grow indoors. New Caledonia has one of the more ideal climates in the world for growing stuff like this so you don't really appreciate just how picky finger limes are, especially for a citrus. Every time I've seen one they've been much more scraggly looking. The thorns are also devious. I don't know what variety mine is, I think its just a standard one, but it is grafted so probably some improved variety. Its fairly small with small vesicles. Definitely agree with the taste, very potent lemon-lime flavor (a bit heavier on the lime) and one of the sourest fruits I've ever tasted, solid 11/10. Not super juicy either, though those vesicles have some serious crunch. I'd be very tempted to grow some sort of hybrid one, for a bit less sourness but mostly for something easier to grow. Maybe a hybrid with mandarin or something would do well on both counts.
I have Australian Finger (Caviar) Lime plants, bloomed but no fruits. Both red and green varieties. Next year I should get fruits. I have some native wild fruits on my property, evergreen blueberries which have red berries that turn shiny black when ripe. I have dwarf Huckleberries and southern gooseberries. Not sure if you have tried those. I also have see palmetto berries ripe now. I know you tasted that one. I tried it too and it tastes like butterscotch for 2 seconds then it tastes like astringent vomit.
Cool! I would enjoy trying those, both the finger limes and the limequat! I’m a big lime fan. Love the smell, the taste and like to cook with the zest. Any citrus zest, actually. But limes are, overall, my favorite fruit.
I tried finger limes once! Unsure of the variety, but it was in Hawaii, small dry pulpits, limey flavor, not terribly sweet, & perhaps half or 3/4ths as sour as a lime. The juicy hybrid version sounds a lot more enticing than the drier ones, but you probably can’t go wrong with the texture of either
Carefully cut the outside, from stem to root without slicing the membrane on the pith. Break horizontally, clean. (Like pomegranate) submerge under water, gently squeeze until pulp rises. Fruits are denser, will sink. Off-fruits float. Dispose Finger Limes need 1-2 days to ripen if fresh, brown is out (makes alcohol) Pro-tip: few heads of garlic and an apple core in a bag, will ripen your fruit in 1/2 the time.
They're native to Australia and are now popular here after being largely overlooked as 'bush tucker'. I guess a lot of the fruit you're showing is has a lot of history and unpleasant connotations with colonisation and straving of indigenous populations from their land and resources. It would be good to acknowledge indigenous peoples in your discussions, I see that you often do. To that end, Australia Aboriginals have quite a range of very interesting fruits that they know through tens of thousands of years of thriving on an unusual island. Maybe one day you will make it out bush or the outback to go fruit hunting with the locals here. That being said, I'm actually from Aotearoa New Zealand, and Maori also uses fruit of the whenua, fruit that you might not see any other place on the planet.
I could watch a whole video of you just squeezing these finger limes. It’s so satisfying. I imagine they feel like Orbeez. Love the Waltz of the Flowers! One of my top favorite classics, just under the Pastoral Symphony.
Ok I’m on my other account and I had a mamey sapote today and 👑 ☝️🍋🟩 🥇 Hooray finger lime wins mameys now second mangosteen third I had finger lime at exoten müller in Munich Germany, we actually got them next door at another shop but exoten müller normally has them. If you ever go to Germany visit exoten müller they have a great selection of fruits. We also found Lilly pillies and strawberry trees in Fatima Portugal.
I've tried fingerlimes a few years ago and it tasted like Lime flavored Pledge, furniture polish. But people made so much noise about them i figured i just has a poor quality one. I now have tree which produces nice fruits when it wants to. They still ahve a slightly waxy flavor.
*chuckle*. I feel the limequat got short shrift here. I have one in my yard and it’s actually rather pleasant. Meanwhile my finger lime never produced usable fruit so I replaced it with a calamondin.
They have one or two varieties at an agricultural history park in my city. Hopefully people won't be poaching them to sell on eBay or Craigslist to fancy restaurants... Maybe the City Parks Department should sell them as a fundraiser!
As much as it pains me to see developed land in New Caledonia, it's cool that even the agriculture somehow lives up to the theme of diversity and uniqueness
@@WeirdExplorer My husband is a fruit explorer in his own way and invited me into that world. Introduced me to you online some years back. Now he will call me while I am in the home to say, "Guess what! The Weird Fruit Explorer has a new video to watch!" Then I relocate myself. Get a chair beside his. We sit and appreciate you. Your renditions of experiencing the world. Fruits. Your life captured in snipits of film with your humor added into the mix. This world is a serious place, and you lighten the load! Appreciation being sent your way from our locality!
$30 for an ounce and a half is such a rip-off! There is also a company in Miami which sells these for $17 per FRUIT! I have just one tree in our yard, it produces around 20 pounds annually and I sell these to local San Francisco Chefs for only $25 per POUND!

It's like nails on a chalkboard... like... why would you waste all that sour patch fruitiness!?
Glad I'm not the only one feeling like this lol
I bothers me too.
A pity that

I have one of these in a pot. It finally fruited last year, it was very exciting. I had them mixed into sweetened yoghurt and in cocktails.
6:13 I never knew Jared can say bad words, especially the well-known "pronounced" SoB...
yeah that cracked me up good. i rewound a couple times hahahah
If they could breed these with the flavor of the lemonade lemon that would be perfect
Maybe next spring when mine bloom, I can pollinate them with my ponderosa lemon.
I was thinking about doing that this year but didn't get a chance to. Though I think that it might need something a little sweeter to hybridize with.

This fruit is certainly an eye-catcher. Probably as expensive as caviar!

I want to put these in guacamole, if I ever get one that is.
I'll have to try that
Fun idea friend!
@@MCNarret I was thinking of these as a jam.
Grow one unless you live somewhere cold or gets frost they're hardy af
check your local nursery! unsurprisingly they are pretty popular as yard plants
Very reasonable review. I would use them in place of pomegranate kernals as decorative garnish
I loveeeeee finger limes, but they’re so rare and expensive lol
I want these so much. These are actually the reason why I found you back in the day.
havent seen them in any local stores so far
My sister had a Kumquat Citron Hybrid. Citrus fruit genetics is hard to understand.
That sounds interesting. Citron is grown for its candy-able rind, and kumquats have edible rinds & good cold tolerance for a Citrus. I like the flavors in Citrus zest.
The crunch sounds satisfying
I was blissfully chilling to the music at the start, but when you burst in with such enthusiasm, it nearly scared the daylights out of me.

The flavor is WAY too strong. It's like biting into a lemon or a lime. Doesn't taste very good.
A vegan ikura sounds like a great idea!
Make a crab stuffing for chicken breasts and use them in the crab stuffing.
Sounds great
That hybrid sounds so cool, I want to try one. Thanks for sharing.
I laughed so hard when you showed the review of the limequat, that was hilarious

They usually fruit the same time as the miracle fruit here in Australia.
They make a fantastical sweet treat when mixed together
Love these, I grow several varieties here at The Jungle Temple 😊💜
I love watching you taste new weird fruits.🎉Awsome content.❤
We had finger limes once in the grocery store where I live. I remember it tasting lime like very sour with a light floral note to it.
That crunch... i could somewhat taste it by just watching the video.
I was just waiting for those 'tendrils' of vesicles to start waving around on their own. I hope they planted the seeds from that multiple hybrid!
Had the chance to get these last year! Made an amazing key lime pie topping
As a fiend for sour things, these seem like a really fun substitute source of acid in a lot of dishes, especially those that don't need to be cooked.
Did i read that correctly, $30 per lime on Amazon? Wowzers..
I love these things. I would buy them from the Embarcadero in San Francisco when I used to go up there.

We just found out today that there are several feijoa bushes growing at our local botanical garden, though!
Yummy lime boba!
Wow, these would be really great in a fruit tea drink, wouldn't they?!
Those would be the smallest boba ever. Maybe someday they can select for larger vesicles to the size of boba pearls.
i was just thinking the same thing looking at the thumbnail. looks delicious
I’ll just come here and say, I do this a lot, and unfortunately most of them get lost and gobbled down, but the few that I catch are fun to pop…
I bet these would mae an excellent sherbet smoothie topping, almost like boba but for a fruit smoothy
Love them in cocktails
I've actually grown these, and WOW they are a massive pain in the ass to grow indoors. New Caledonia has one of the more ideal climates in the world for growing stuff like this so you don't really appreciate just how picky finger limes are, especially for a citrus. Every time I've seen one they've been much more scraggly looking. The thorns are also devious. I don't know what variety mine is, I think its just a standard one, but it is grafted so probably some improved variety. Its fairly small with small vesicles. Definitely agree with the taste, very potent lemon-lime flavor (a bit heavier on the lime) and one of the sourest fruits I've ever tasted, solid 11/10.

ohhh I didn't know these were a thing, I'd love to use them in some desserts
All of these should be used in Margaritas!
You should just go to Australia, and go on a bush safari. Australian limes are their own pocket universe.
I'd love to try these if they weren't so trendy and thus way outside of my price range. Limes are pretty much my favorite fruit. I love sour fruit.
I always get the citrus flavour along with a terpene/kerosene overtone from fingerlimes
lol I literally said out loud "Flavor??" only to hear you respond "okay so it doesn't...."

I wonder if someone crossed them with those acidless varieties to get a less acidic version of this.
Nooooo, in salads as a garnish, with different vinegars they create a diversity of tastes and sensations, with smoked salmon as well, in tuna salad.
They're exceptionally good with various seafoods

Glad you enjoy it!
@@WeirdExplorer My husband is a fruit explorer in his own way and invited me into that world. Introduced me to you online some years back. Now he will call me while I am in the home to say, "Guess what! The Weird Fruit Explorer has a new video to watch!" Then I relocate myself. Get a chair beside his. We sit and appreciate you. Your renditions of experiencing the world. Fruits. Your life captured in snipits of film with your humor added into the mix. This world is a serious place, and you lighten the load! Appreciation being sent your way from our locality!
How would that taste on vanilla ice cream, I wonder?
$30 for an ounce and a half is such a rip-off! There is also a company in Miami which sells these for $17 per FRUIT! I have just one tree in our yard, it produces around 20 pounds annually and I sell these to local San Francisco Chefs for only $25 per POUND!
