Fresh Organic Makrut Lime Leaves – 10 Leaves

Fresh organic makrut lime leaves: intensely fragrant and aromatic

Makrut lime is a distinctive citrus fruit valued not only for its highly aromatic peel, but also for its leaves.

When fresh, makrut lime leaves release an intense fragrance combining citrus, fresh green notes and delicate floral aromas. Just a few leaves are enough to deeply flavour a dish.

Our organic makrut lime leaves are grown and harvested on our estate in Eus, Southern France.

How to use fresh makrut lime leaves

Makrut lime leaves are widely used in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in curries, soups, broths and slow-cooked dishes.

They can be added whole to infuse a preparation, much like a bay leaf, and removed before serving.

They can also be finely sliced to flavour curries and sauces, soups and broths, rice dishes, marinades, fish, seafood and coconut milk-based recipes.

Gently crushing or tearing the leaves before cooking helps release even more of their aroma.

An essential ingredient in Southeast Asian cuisine

Makrut lime leaves, from Citrus hystrix, are especially important in Thai and Southeast Asian cooking.

They are also commonly known as kaffir lime leaves, a term still widely used in recipes and culinary searches.

Their distinctive citrus fragrance brings a freshness and aromatic depth that is difficult to reproduce with other citrus fruits.

They pair particularly well with lemongrass, ginger, chilli, coriander, coconut milk, fish and seafood.
