Lime, Kaffir - Organic
2 fruits per punnet https://myexoticfruit.com/shop/#!/products/citrus-lime-kaffir-lime "Wonderfully aromatic citrus fruit native to various Asian countries......Although, like other citrus fruits, kaffir limes are not eaten fresh out of hand, their outstanding savour and aroma have led chefs and bartenders around the world to prize them as superior culinary ingredients! Their aroma is so renowned that their essential oil is used in perfumery! They are particularly popular in Southeast Asian cuisine, with the juice, peel, and leaves all utilised in cooking - indeed, in Cambodia, the entire fruit is crystallised/candied for eating! The peel is commonly utilised in marinades and incorporated in Lao and Thai curry dishes to add a fresh, astringent flavour. The zest of the kaffir lime, referred to as combava, is also used in creole cuisine to impart flavour in infused rums and rougails in Martinique, Réunion and Madagascar, and slices of kaffir lime make the perfect cocktail garnishes! We'd particularly recommend using these tantalisingly tart fruits in stir-fries and soups, as well as adding a squeeze of lime juice into a glass of spring water to create an invigorating beverage! Alongside being supremely versatile and ideal for adding a sharp, zesty kick to your mealtimes, kaffir limes are also nutritionally valuable. In particular, they are excellent sources of vitamin C - one lime provides 32% of your daily vitamin C needs! - and are rich in dietary fibre."
