Go go back a little time the lemon caviar?

The lemon caviar is everywhere! Both in recipes and in cooking programs, and yet in reality, it is very difficult to obtain ... And even more to cultivate!
The caviar lemon is the fruit of a bush full of thorns that is found in the rainforests of Australia that aboriginals appreciated.

Production comes from Australia in the far east of Queensland near the town of Bayron Bay. To find it you will have to move away from the coast and immerse yourself in the famous Australian bush, but not the one that we expect: arid and flat as far as the eye can see, in this case it is a hilly landscape, green and wet that we discover!

The lemon caviar has a very recognizable aspect (or not): if you find a fruit that looks like a pickle in a thorny bush, bingo you have found one!
It is rather long-looking, sometimes slightly rounder depending on the variety, and its skin is sometimes smooth sometimes rough. It can be yellow like a classic lemon, or green, or brown or purple, in short this fruit is full of surprises.
And the best surprise is when you open it! Depending on the variety you choose, you will find a multitude of green, bright yellow, red, pink or beige champagne ...

And how do we use it?

Roll the pearls in the mouth before bursting to release their acidulous juice which differs between each variety.
In most cases, the first note will be spicy and will soon give way to the light acidity of this species.
Each variety has a different taste, for a lemony note prefer lemons of green color, if you are looking for notes that pull slightly on the pink grapefruit then point to the roses or reds. To each his happiness!
The best is to disperse the pearls on your dishes or pastries so that the acidity is only revealed in the mouth and in a subtle way ... And for more pleasure you can vary the type of lemon from one time to the other to rediscover your dish in a slightly different way ...
