Putting an entire finger lime in a batch of rice is really good. Probably would be good with the round lime too.
So the finger lime has round pulp And the round lime has finger pulp. Got it :)

Round Lime: Nature's Pop Rocks
The mandarin orange we grow in our backyard's little "pulplettes" are barely held together inside the wedge membrane. Peak enjoyment.
When I was in Fiji as a kid my mom would make me some of these with a little sugar and serve very cold. I loved it.
man, the zest on that round lime! it's *gorgeous*, so pretty and green and tasty looking. These both sound super interesting! For some reason, the way that the round lime popped out in individual pulps made me want to eat it real, real bad, and I gotta tell you, that's the first time I've ever wanted to eat a straight-up lime, lmao!
I imagine these would be amazing on tacos BTW the citrus chemical you're thinking of is called limonene, as far as I know it is extracted as a by-product of juice production.

Also known as a Gympie (G-im-py) lime. Unripe fruit tend to be strickier then ripe (pale green/greeny yellow). Another Australian citrus you should try, if you can get a hold of, is "Desert Lime" Citrus glauca. One of our most heat, cold & drought tolerant citrus. Roughly the size of a grape, with intense flavour. Not as sour as round or finger, but far more flavour. Normally an ingredient, but can be eaten whole like a cumquat.

Love the one-eye-stuck-shut-squinty-sour face you make when you eat a lime haha.
Can you do a review of Trichosanthes Pilosa - Japanese Snake Gourd. It's shape is like an egg. Morus Cathayana - Hua Sang. It's a mulberry and it's available in China, Japan and Korea.
I couldn't record a video for you in time but last year I went to a ranch of a family friend (I live in Brazil) and there I found a citrus fruit that was half of the size of a lime and shaped like a long egg; green peel and slightly orange on the inside and tasted pretty sweet, and if you cut it in half and squeezed it the whole fruit part would pop off cleanly. It only happens when they're very ripe so I couldn't get a lot of them while I was there.

Do you mean poke berries? I know the leaves of the poke plant are edible after boiling several times. I have never heard that the berries being edible. Only heard that they were poisonous. I don't think the berries would hold up to being boiled one time, much less more than once. They would turn to mush in the first boiling. Any berry would.
The finger limes have really varied flavors depending on ripeness. They are grown in California now, so North Americans can access them more readily.

Hi..................... 🔴 ALERT 🔴 PLEASE DON'T OVERLOOK THIS. It's a jackfruit seeds recipe . Jackfruit seed french fries . 1. First, sundry the jackpot seeds until you can separate the skin, completely dried but not so much that you cannot cut it . 2. Cut it horizontally 4 to 6 pieces. 3. Boil it until fork tender, add salt up to taste. 4. Let them dry a little or store in fridge for later uses. 5. Find them until Golden brown, add salt and pepper to taste. 6. Now, Bon appetit.............

The round lime, I’m pretty sure is rare outside of Australia i’m pretty sure I know it’s a nursery in Brisbane that has them and I also have one
jeez dude, you stabbed that cutting board so hard it almost screamed💀💀
As a Mexican I would believe it was a dry lime and toss it away. Good thing I learned the difference.
That Round Lime you tried may not have been quite ripe, it's a bit small for Round Limes and it should be juicier than that.
The round one looks like one of those bad pieces, which are drier lime, it happens in oranges too, I had oranges who's pulp was more solid and less juicy and they doesn't taste as good as normal one and fun fact they also tend to have thick skins too .
You know good and ripe finger limes are pressurized. You don't have to squeeze it and it will start squirming out for like 30 seconds for a real good healthy one.
