Desert Lime, Lemon Myrtle Meringue Tart :flatbread:
Desert lime (aka. Outback Lime), or 'Citrus glauca', is a popular citrus closely related to conventional citrus species that has grown in the wild for thousands of years.
Easy to grow, it is tolerant of heat, frost, drought and salinity.
Use the fruit to make cordials, sauces, marmalades, pickles and chutneys. Traditional Owners ate straight of the tree but, in my experience, it is difficult to simultaneously eat desert limes and smile!
The desert lime's distinctive piquant lime flavour and refreshing taste means that it can be used in any context that a standard lime or citrus fruit can be used. The mature ripe fruit or pulp are sold either fresh, frozen or pureed, and are used in a wide variety of food and beverage products.
This tree is perfect for your garden or balcony and a true Aussie citrus variety. Grab your tree today via queenslandfingerlimes.com
