Mystery fruit

I know I have read about this fruit, and the shopkeeper told me the name…but I cannot remember what it is.

Can anybody help?

I know it is a lime, it tastes acidic like a lemon or a lime, but those red beads are  so much prettier … like caviar. I am told they are used in cooking and in drinks… I can see them floating in a martini.

At first glance they remind me of dates. They are the same size.

But when you slice them open they are a cross between a tiny grapefruit and a pomegranate.

And it is surprising the amount of beads that come out when you squeeze it.
