About this ingredient
Kaffir Lime Leaves, often called makrut lime leaves, come from Citrus hystrix. The leaves are prized for their sharp citrus aroma and are widely used in Thai and Southeast Asian cuisine. They may be used fresh, dried, cut or powdered depending on the product format and intended sensory profile.
For Eluneya, Kaffir Lime Leaves are best positioned as an aromatic botanical ingredient with strong regional identity. Quality is closely linked to leaf freshness, drying method, volatile aroma preservation and storage. A traceable batch story can connect the ingredient to cultivation area, harvest handling and processing method.
Benefits
Kaffir Lime Leaves are traditionally valued for their bright, citrus-like aroma and culinary heritage. They are suitable for products where fragrance, freshness and Thai botanical identity are central to the product story.
