Description
Kaffir Lime Leaves, as the name suggest they come from the same trees as we get limes from
How you dry leaves makes a huge difference to the form, dried in the sun will produce delicate curling leaves while freeze drying or vacuum drying will produce rigid solid leaves
Our Kaffir Lime Leaves are just that, rigid solid leaves - this ensures the flavour is stored in the leaves and not lost in the drying process
Lime Leaves can be added to any dish - Thai in particular for us, other cuisines just as good
You do not need much of a leaf to infuse flavour so adding a little at a time is better, just like bay the leaf is ideally removed before serving

Kaffir Lime Leaves - Quick Reference
What is it?: Whole dried makrut lime leaves used as an aromatic in Southeast Asian cooking.
Flavour: Floral, bright and deeply citrusy with a distinctive green aroma.
Common uses: Thai curries, tom yum, coconut soups, braises, rice and aromatic broths.
Pairs well with: Lemongrass, galangal, coconut milk, chilli, ginger, seafood and chicken.
How to use: Tear or lightly crush before simmering, then remove before serving unless finely sliced.
Compare with: Whole leaves infuse more gently than lime leaf powder and are easier to remove.
Substitute: Fresh lime zest can add brightness but does not reproduce the same perfume.
Storage: Store airtight and away from light; reseal promptly after opening.
Good to know: The central vein can be firm, so whole dried leaves are normally treated like bay leaves and removed before eating.
