Desert Lime is one of several Australian natives that are true citrus.
It is endemic to the semi-arid regions of south west Queensland, western New South Wales and South Australia.
The fruit is small, round and green, about the size of a small grape, with a very distinctive piquant lime flavour.
Desert Limes are great for flavouring and marinades and in herbs and spice grinder mixes.
Desert lime has a distinct lime flavour but with that unique difference found in native foods, and can be used in any product or process where ‘normal’ limes are used. This includes traditional jams and preserves, cordial and cider.
Desert lime powder is gaining a place as an attractive additive in herb and spice mixes and as a coating for nuts such as macadamias.
Desert Lime is one of the foods traditionally collected by Indigenous Australians. The explorer Ludwig Leichhardt wrote about the trees and eating the fruit in 1844 during his journey through Central Queensland and the Northern Territory. British colonists in New South Wales made jams, tarts, jellies and preserves, as well as an agreeable beverage.
Native lime recipes were published in cookbooks as early as 1898.
Desert lime has high levels of vitamin C, folate and antioxidants.
