Kaffir Lime Leaves Freeze-Dried

Kaffir lime leaves, or Citrus Hystrix in Latin, are clean, sharp and citrus in flavour and scent. Cultivated in the subtropics of South East Asia, these lime coloured leaves are grown around the lumpy Asian lime. The fragrant leaves are freeze-dried to ensure maximum freshness and a punchy flavour.

Kaffir lime leaves are a staple in Indonesian and Thai cuisine, where they are used to flavour and infuse broths, soups, sauces and sweet treats. They are vital to create traditional Thai curry paste as well as a key ingredient in the popular Thai soup, tom yum, which is known for its spicy, sour, and fragrant flavour. We use these leaves to make our Thai Panang Gourmet Cooking Sauce and Indonesian Rendang Gourmet Cooking Sauce.

Kaffir lime leaves are also used in traditional medicine in Southeast Asia, where they are believed to have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Thanks to their refreshing, aromatic scent, they’re used in plenty of cosmetics and personal care products, such as soaps, shampoos, and perfumes too. While on your travels in Southeast Asia, you may find that they’re a popular ingredient in cocktails and mocktails, where they are used to add a zesty, citrusy flavor and aroma to drinks like mojitos and margaritas
