About Australian Desert Limes

Found in the arid areas of Qld, NSW and SA is the little lime that packs a punch-the Australian Desert Lime (Citrus glauca). Early settlers used it for jams and cordials. Pete’s brother used to put them in his water bottle to make a refreshing drink when he was working as a young lad in country Queensland. Used by Aboriginals as a food source for many thousands of years- we are lucky to be able to share this nutrition packed superfruit!

Flavour: Sharp, refreshing, strong lime flavour.
