Description

Lime leaves, also known as makrut lime leaves, are fragrant, double-shaped leaves from a Southeast Asian citrus tree that are a key ingredient in cuisines like Thai and Malaysian. They have a distinctive citrus scent and a complex flavor, described as both bright and floral, and are used whole or finely chopped in dishes such as curries, soups, and stir-fries. The leaves have a shiny, dark green side and a porous, pale side, and their unique hourglass shape is formed by two leaves joined together at the stem.
