Kaffir Lime

DESCRIPTION:

Kaffir lime leaves are one of those herbs that are instantly recognizable as nothing else smells quite like them. Although they are lemony, they are sweeter and fruitier and somehow penetrate right into your nose. These leaves are one of the key ingredients in many Thai and Malaysian dishes. Used extensively in Tom Yum soups and curries, this is a must have for authentic Thai food!

We offer fresh kaffir lime leaves within Taiwan and to restaurants.
