Fresh Picked Limes

Hand peeled from spray-free yuzu, grown in our Wairarapa orchard.

Tastes like Sharp, bright and unmistakably zesty, with a clean citrus tang and a floral edge. Less sweet than a lemon, more bitter. Juicy and mouth-puckering fresh off the tree, mellowing out beautifully once paired with salt, sugar, chilli or a good tequila.

$6.00 A generous handful, in a sealed bag (minimum 1kg)

Pay by bank transfer — we pack and send once payment arrives.

The Details

Hand-picked from our own trees on the orchard, these limes are as fresh as they come. Good for cooking, baking, cocktails, or just squeezing over whatever's for dinner.

Things to Do

Fresh limes are one of those ingredients that quietly make everything better. A squeeze over tacos, fish, or avocado on toast.

A wedge in your water or gin and tonic. Zest stirred through a marinade, a cake, or a batch of guacamole.

Sliced thin for a cocktail garnish, or juiced up for a proper limeade on a hot afternoon.

Where It Came From

Grown spray-free in our Wairarapa orchard, ripened slowly on the tree and picked by hand. Even the fertilising is natural, our horses graze among the trees.

The Goodness

Limes aren't just good for cutting through a curry or brightening a drink, they're doing a bit of good for you too. One lime gives you around 20-30% of your daily vitamin C, along with small amounts of potassium, calcium and antioxidants.

Vitamin C helps support your immune system, and citrus fruits like limes have long been valued for that reason, right back to sailors carrying them on long voyages to stay well. A little goes a long way, so keep squeezing.

How We Send It

Sent freshly picked the same day, if possible.

Storage
Keep limes at room temperature for up to a week, or in the fridge for two to three weeks. For longer storage, they can be juiced or zested and frozen.
