Yours Kitchen Spice Set Organic Dried Thai Kaffir Lime Leaves and Organic Dried Thai Galangal Root Slice From My Farm

Lime leaf, also known as 'kaffir lime leaf', is a key ingredient in Thai cooking as well as other Southeast-Asian cuisines. Note that 'kaffir' is considered a rude word in certain languages, and for this reason it is often omitted these days from most Western packaging, though you will still see it in Asian packaging. Kaffir Lime Leaf versus Leaves from Lime Trees: Kaffir lime leaves are not the same as leaves from a regular lime tree. Kaffir limes are very different from regular limes in that they are very bitter with bumpy skin. In Thailand, kaffir limes are not consumed but are used mainly in producing household cleaning products. The leaves, however, are very aromatic and can be consumed if cooked or very thinly sliced.
