Makrut Lime, also known as Kaffir Lime, has been used for centuries in Southeast Asian cuisines as a flavouring agent for soups, curries, and salads.

Growing conditions

Makrut Lime trees thrive in warm, humid climates and require well-draining soils and regular watering. They produce small, bumpy, green limes with a distinct double-lobed shape and a fragrant, aromatic rind.

Using Makrut Lime

The leaves of the Makrut Lime tree are commonly used in Southeast Asian cooking for their robust and citrusy aroma. They are often finely chopped and added to curries, stir-fries, and salads and are also used in traditional medicine and as a natural insect repellent.
