The fruit
Cut one open.
Lime.
Seedless and thin skinned. Roll it under your palm before cutting and it gives up twice as easily.
Best for
- Tacos and ceviche
- Cocktails and soda
- Green curry
Typical segment counts vary fruit to fruit; the drawing shows a common one.
Root to crate
Four steps, nothing added.
- 01
Picked by hand
We pick to colour and scent, never to a date on a calendar.
- 02
Rested in shade
A day in the packhouse so the peel firms up before it travels.
- 03
Wrapped in paper
Each fruit in its own sheet. No wax, no plastic tray.
- 04
At your door
Out the next morning in a vented wooden crate.
