The Kaffir
lime is primarily grown throughout southeast Asia.
The rind and leaves are used for flavouring Thai
curries and main dishes. The fruit turns yellow
when mature but is harvested while still green.
They exude a mixture of flavors from
the mellowness of lemongrass, the tang of lime juice
and the peppery heat of ginger or mild chiles. It
is a flavor you will not soon forget and one that
you will crave.
