From japanesetaste.com: The Shikuwasa, which bears similarities to the lime, has a deep significance in Okinawan culture, is nicknamed the “longevity fruit” for its health properties, and even celebrated in local festivals and used as a common motif in Okinawan art and souvenirs. Its bright green color and refreshing taste symbolize the vibrancy of the island’s culture. Harvested from August to February, the juice, peel, and residue of this zesty fruit are processed into a range of products available throughout the year. The name derives from the Okinawan dialect and is a combination of the two words “Shii” and “kwaasaa”, which mean “sour” and “food” respectively.
