Desert Lime
Also know as the native cumquat this 'wild lime' which gains its soothing, re-balancing and revitalising properties from the high level of antioxidants it contains.
Australian Desert Limes are from a tree species of true citrus which is native to Australia - eremocitrus glauca.
The botanical name of this species is derived from eremos, the Greek word for 'desert' and glauca, meaning 'bluish', referring to the blue-grey colour of the leaves. They were eaten by aborigines and have been used by generations of Australian outback people to make cordias and garnishes. Thirsty stockmen ate the fruit straight from the trees as a thirst quencher.
