What goes with Finger Lime?
Finger lime contains small juice vesicles that separate into individual beads when the pod is opened. Their culinary value lies in the membrane enclosing the acidic juice. Crushing the pulp produces citrus juice but removes the delayed burst that distinguishes finger lime from an ordinary liquid dressing.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Finger Lime?
Use the beads where a diner will encounter them directly with the partner ingredient. They can punctuate rich sauces, soft seafood or a cold vegetable preparation without acidifying every mouthful equally. The amount should follow the dish's existing acidity: finger lime need not sit on top of another fully acidulated dressing.
