The Kaffir lime is predominately used for its unusual double lobed leaves. When chopped or crushed the leaf expels a wonderful aromatic citrus flavour that is used in many Asian dishes.
The small knobbly fruit (looks like a small brain), has little juice and is only used for zesting. The tree is only small growing and is regularly pruned when you pick the leaves for cooking.
Can be grown in a pot or in the garden. Be careful when purchasing a Kaffir Lime as there are a few different strains of kaffir lime sold throughout Australia, some with large thorns. Our superior strain has small thorns and a larger leaf that is a lot more aromatic.
