cut
This is an illustration of a finger lime, a cylindrical fruit shaped like a finger. It is a fruit with juicy pulp (called 'sajo') that easily falls apart, making for a striking image of it spilling from a cut surface. This is why it is also known as 'forest caviar' or 'caviar lime.' Its vibrant colors and spiciness are used to enhance the appearance of cocktails and dishes, and there are various varieties of this fruit, including different colors of the pulp.
