A little history at the origin of lemon caviar

A rare, trendy and much sought-after citrus fruit: lemon caviar. It is difficult to find because it is very difficult to cultivate under our country. It does not grow on a tree, but in a thorny bush of the family Rutaceae. The lemon Caviar is a fruit consumed by the aborigines because originally and in the wild it grows in Wet forests in Australia.
Today lemon caviar is grown in a single region east of the Australian mainland: Queensland around Bayron Bay. It is not at the seaside that you will find the crops of this rare fruit.
