Fingerlime

Endemic to south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales, the finger lime tree has fruit in a range of vibrant colours, from green through to red. While the flavour can be compared to a lime, the fruit has tiny ‘caviar pearls’ of flesh prized by chefs worldwide. It is used in a variety of ways, from topping ceviche and oysters, to salads and cocktails. Our personal favourite is finger lime over kangaroo carpaccio. Freeze-dried at the source for a fresh and easy to use product.

How to Use

The product comes in two types:

Powdered: Perfect for baking and cooking but best used uncooked to maintain its benefits.  Best in a smoothie, juice or sprinkled on cereals and yoghurt.

How to substitute: approximately 1/2 teaspoon of powder is equivalent to one finger lime.

Chips: Perfect as Garnish for cocktails adding to cooking and are an essential ingredient for bush food brittle. Anywhere you would use preserved lemons and of course your favourite Applewood Gin and Tonic. 

Please note: the chips will have some crushing during transport. The powder is still great over cocktails.

Our products are all made in Australia from 100% locally sourced, seasonal and wild harvested produce.

Warndu means good in the Adnyamathanha language. 

Our mission is to REGENERATE culture, community, tradition, health and our soils. Every product we make includes one or more Australian Native ingredients. 

In our efforts to be zero waste and plastic free, and with the changes to recycling in Australia, we will be phasing out all plastic bags. For now you may receive your spices, teas and home products in either black, white or clear plastic, and once that is all gone our amazing new compostable plant-based packaging will be what you will receive products in.
Thanks for your patience and understanding whilst we endeavour to tread lightly on your yarta (land).

To maintain Warndu taste we keep smaller quantities on hand of our Australian Natives, it takes us a little while to dry, roast or grind them to make. We aim to send all orders within ten days of receiving them.

Excellent product, makes a great change from lemon or lime in gin.

Finger lime

This product is amazing. I add about a teaspoon of the dried finger lime to my travel cup, along with lemon myrtle leaves for an all day tea. I just keep adding boiling water to rejuvenate the flavours. Better than conventional tea or coffee.

Great for adding to gin, or eating plain - it doesn't take many to fix my craving for sour lollies, and it is a lot better for me!

fast delivery, good food

I ordered the fingerlime chips - they were great and a nice addition to gin. My only issue was that i expected larger, more 'complete' chips whereas what I received were small and fairly broken up.
