A little history for this variety PINK-DELICE

Do you know the latest trend in citrus fruit? This is the inevitable lemon caviar.
But what exactly is it? Well it is a thorny bush that is found historically where moisture is sufficiently present for its development, specifically in the Australian forests. This tree belongs to the family of Rutaceae, it occupies a place of choice in the culinary art of the aborigines.

It is therefore in the Australian regions of Queensland, more precisely near the city of Bayron Bay in the east of the continent, that one must go to meet this famous citrus. But do not imagine that it is so simple ... the lemon caviar is deserved! It is also necessary to walk the wet, green and hilly countryside offered by the Australian bush to hope to reach and enjoy.

The fruits look like gherkins, even a chubby finger, it is also to this last comparison that he owes his nickname "finger lime"
Over the years, new varieties have appeared, and although still in its original form, these new variations sometimes depart from this round, long and oblong shape.
Also, depending on the variety, the texture of the skin, rough or smooth, and its color, can be different, ranging from brown to green, through purple, red, orange, yellow and even black .
Of course, lemon caviar also draws its originality from its very special pulp: hundreds of small balls whose color varies according to the variety (green, yellow, beige, red or pink)

And how does it use the lemon caviar ?

Here lies the major asset of the fruit: the pearls explode when they are crunched, releasing all the acidity, whose character and intensity are specific to each variety.
According to these, we can distinguish a fresh and frank acidity (this is the case of lemons caviar green flesh), or a flavor reminiscent of that of grapefruit (for those with pink flesh)
You will understand, between its different textures, colors and tastes, lemon caviar offers immense possibilities of creation and revisits culinary, both in cooking and pastry, whose only limits are the "fruit" of your imagination !
