Like the sherbet bomb you ate as a kid! Australian Native Desert Lime are also a very rich source of calcium and contain high levels of vitamin C, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin E and lutein. Fresh Desert Limes freeze whole and can be eaten whole too.

Pop them into gin and tonics, cakes, stir-fries, salads – just about anything that wants a fresh lime addition.

The product comes in two types:

Powdered: These desert limes are so tangy and delicious, we use them at home in everything. The powder comes freeze-dried in a resealable 50g bag.

Chips: These come as dried whole chips and make fantastic additions to cocktails and mocktails, along with some finger lime chips.
