Frozen Kaffir Lime Leaves, 100g

Frozen kaffir lime leaves are the aromatic leaves of the kaffir (makrut) lime tree that have been carefully harvested and frozen to preserve their intense citrus fragrance and flavour. Deep green and glossy, the leaves are typically double-lobed and highly prized in Southeast Asian cooking, particularly in Thai, Malaysian, and Indonesian cuisines.

Freezing helps lock in the leaves’ distinctive aroma, bright, zesty, and slightly floral, making them a convenient alternative to fresh leaves when they are not seasonally available. When cooked, frozen kaffir lime leaves release a bold citrus note with hints of lime zest and subtle herbal bitterness, adding depth and freshness to dishes.

They are commonly used whole or finely shredded in curries, soups, stir-fries, and marinades, and are especially essential in dishes such as Thai green curry, tom yum soup, and fragrant coconut-based sauces. Frozen kaffir lime leaves should be added during cooking to infuse flavour and are often removed before serving if left whole.
