Kaffir Lime Leaf 1mm Flake (Makrut Lime Leaf)
Product Details
Kaffir Lime Leaf 1mm Flake, also known as Makrut Lime Leaf, delivers the distinctive fragrant citrus aroma and fresh, zesty flavour widely associated with Thai and Southeast Asian cuisine.
With its intense citrus character and aromatic leaf notes, it is traditionally used in curries, soups, broths, sauces, marinades, rice dishes and stir-fries. It pairs particularly well with ingredients such as lemongrass, ginger, chilli, coconut, coriander and other aromatic spices and herbs.
The fine 1mm flake provides a practical format for commercial use, allowing the leaf to disperse more evenly through dry blends, seasoning mixes and manufactured food products than larger cut or whole leaves. It can be incorporated into curry powders, spice blends, flavoured salts, soup bases, marinades, sauces and ready-to-cook meal products.
Beyond traditional culinary applications, Kaffir Lime Leaf can also be explored in tea and herbal blends, botanical syrups, cocktail ingredients, cordials and other beverage products, where its aromatic citrus profile can provide a fresh and distinctive flavour.
It is also a useful botanical for distillers and beverage manufacturers, particularly in gin and other botanical spirit development, where its vibrant citrus character can complement juniper, coriander seed, lemongrass, ginger, native botanicals and traditional citrus peels.
A versatile ingredient for restaurants, caterers, food manufacturers, spice and tea blenders, beverage producers, distillers and retailers looking for an aromatic citrus botanical with broad culinary and product-development potential.
