About Kafir lime leaves

Kafir lime leaves, native to Southeast Asia, are a staple in Thai, Indonesian, and Cambodian cuisines, prized for their intense citrus flavor and aromatic profile. These glossy, dark green leaves come from the kaffir lime tree and are often used fresh or dried to infuse curries, soups, and stir-fry dishes with a tangy, zesty note. Rich in antioxidants, kafir lime leaves promote better immunity and may support digestion. They contain essential oils like citronellal, which offer anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Though generally used in small amounts, they offer negligible calories, making them a guilt-free addition to recipes. However, the leaves are tough and usually removed before consumption or finely chopped for texture. Revered for both their taste and therapeutic potential, kafir lime leaves enhance dishes while contributing gentle health benefits.
