Product Details  

Pink Finger Lime Powder — Australian Native Bush Tucker

Pink Finger Lime Powder is produced from the fruit of Citrus australasica — a native citrus tree endemic to the subtropical rainforests of northern New South Wales and Queensland. This is a genuinely Australian ingredient: finger limes grow nowhere else on earth in their natural state, and have been a traditional food source for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of the Bundjalung nation and surrounding language groups for tens of thousands of years.

The pink variety is among the most prized of all finger lime types, known for its distinctive rose-tinted vesicles and a flavour profile that is intensely tart, bright, and high-acid with floral, lime-forward aromatic notes. The fruit is reduced to a fine powder that concentrates all of that character into a shelf-stable, highly versatile ingredient format. A small amount delivers significant impact — making this one of the most exciting and distinctive native Australian ingredients available in bulk.

Finger lime powder has strong application across fine dining, craft beverages, native food product development, confectionery, and baked goods. Use as a seasoning over seafood and oysters, blend into dressings, vinaigrettes, and sauces, fold into chocolate ganache and pastry cream, or dissolve into cocktails, sodas, and sparkling water for a bright citrus hit with unmistakable Australian provenance.

Pink Finger Lime Powder — Australian Native Citrus australasica

Pink Finger Lime Powder (Citrus australasica) — the pink-vesicled colour variant of Australia's most celebrated native citrus, reduced to a concentrated powder that delivers the intense tart, floral citrus character of the fresh fruit in a shelf-stable, highly versatile format. Finger Lime trees grow naturally in the subtropical rainforests of northern NSW and Queensland — part of the Bundjalung language nation — and have been a traditional bush food for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for tens of thousands of years. The pink variety is among the most prized for its distinctive rose-tinted vesicles and more complex, floral aromatic profile.

The powder is produced from whole Australian-grown pink finger limes and concentrates the bright, high-acid, lime-forward flavour with floral overtones into a form that disperses easily into beverages, sauces, confectionery, and baked goods. A premium Australian native ingredient with strong positioning in fine dining, craft beverage, and native food product applications. Available in 250g, 500g, 1kg, and 5kg bulk.

Pink Finger Lime Powder — FAQs

Everything you need to know before you order.

Finger Lime (Citrus australasica) is a small native citrus tree endemic to the subtropical rainforests of south-east Queensland and north-east NSW. Unlike conventional round citrus, the finger lime produces elongated, finger-shaped fruit 4–12cm long containing hundreds of tiny, firm, caviar-like vesicles — the juice cells — which pop on the palate and release their intensely tart, high-acid juice. The fruit occurs in a wide range of colours depending on variety: green, yellow, black, purple, red, and pink. The pink variety is prized for its rose-tinted to deep pink vesicles and a flavour profile that is bright, tart, and high-acid with a more pronounced floral quality compared to the green. It is among the most visually striking and commercially valuable finger lime types and commands significant premium pricing at both the fresh fruit and ingredient levels.
Finger Lime has been a traditional food source for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of southeast Queensland and northern NSW for tens of thousands of years — part of the deep knowledge systems of the Bundjalung nation and neighbouring language groups of the subtropical rainforest country where the trees grow naturally. The fruit was eaten fresh and used as a condiment, and the trees were known and managed within traditional land practices. Today, Finger Lime is one of the flagship species in the growing Australian native food industry — a category that supports both First Nations food sovereignty initiatives and broader recognition of the extraordinary culinary diversity of Australia's native flora.
Several factors contribute to the premium pricing of pink finger lime powder. First, supply is inherently limited — finger lime trees take several years to bear fruit and the trees require subtropical rainforest conditions; unlike major citrus crops, production cannot be rapidly scaled. The pink varieties are among the slower-maturing and lower-yielding cultivars. Second, the fruit-to-powder conversion ratio is very high — a significant weight of fresh fruit is required to produce a small quantity of powder. Third, the pink variety commands a premium over green even at the fresh fruit level due to its visual distinctiveness and more complex aromatic profile. Fourth, it is produced entirely in Australia — unlike most citrus powders, which can be sourced from large-scale international operations, there is no cheaper import alternative for authentic Australian finger lime.
Pink Finger Lime Powder is a versatile high-impact ingredient. Beverages: citrus rim garnish for cocktails and mocktails; dissolved into sparkling water, sodas, or tonic drinks; blended into smoothies or syrups. Fine dining and restaurant: dusted over seafood, oysters, and scallops; incorporated into dressings, vinaigrettes, and emulsions; used as a finishing element for desserts. Confectionery and baking: folded into macarons, pastry cream, ganache, and citrus tarts; used to flavour chocolate, caramel, and marshmallow. Product development: incorporated into native Australian food product ranges, functional beverage formulations, and premium condiments. A small amount goes a long way — the concentrated acidity and intense citrus character means even a pinch adds significant impact.
Yes — Green Finger Lime Powder is available in a 50g pack. The green variety has a similarly intense, tart citrus profile with slightly less floral complexity than the pink. Also in the Australian native range: Dried Finger Lime Pieces (same price point as the pink powder, for whole-piece texture applications) and Desert Lime Powder (Citrus glauca — the arid-zone native lime with a different, drier flavour profile). Contact our office for wholesale enquiries.
