Kaffir Lime is a member of the citrus family responsible for the distinctive lime-lemon aroma and flavour that are an indispensable part of Thai cooking. The fruit is dark green and round. Commonly called the "procupine orange", it has a thick, knobby and wrinkled rind. Despite its small size, it is more acid than a lemon and it has a powerful flavour of lemongrass.
Applications : savoury dishes, soups, piment sauce, rice, vegetable mousses.
