Did you know?

A citrus native to Australian rainforests. When the finger-shaped fruit is cut, free-falling vesicles spill out like caviar, which is why kitchens use it as a garnish under the name lime caviar.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
