Have you ever seen finger limes?

I found these cute little things at the Powerhouse Markets.  They are grown near Brisbane.  I have never seen them before and just had to try them. I actually forgot about them, so they are not as green as they were when I bought them, but they still tasted great.

They are called finger limes because they are about the size of a finger – mine anyway.

When you cut them and squeeze them, little delicious, lime flavoured balls come out.  When you put them in your mouth they sort of pop with fresh lime flavour.  They are great in salads.  I know, I tried them.

Keep an eye out for them.  Does anyone know where they come from?
