About Purple Finger Lime

This finger lime stands out for its purple juice pearls. Here, “Violet” refers to the colour of the pearls, not of the skin. These crisp, tangy vesicles, prized by chefs, add both visual interest and a tart texture to dishes.

Purple Finger Lime or another variety?

The Lune finger lime, another finger lime in our range, is offered under its own trade name; Violet is chosen first and foremost for the colour of its pearls. To explore further, see our “Lemons and lemon substitutes” category.

Frequently asked questions

Is the skin purple?

No. The name “Violet” refers to the colour of the juice pearls, not of the skin.

How should finger lime pearls be served?

Open the fruit carefully and scatter the juice vesicles over the dish just before serving to preserve their texture.

How is the fruit used?

In cooking: the crisp, tangy juice pearls are used as a finishing touch.
