Dried Lime Leaves

Fox’s Spices Kaffir Lime Leaves 25g bring a bright, citrusy flavour to curries, soups and stir-fries with very little effort. These dried kaffir lime leaves have a distinctive, fragrant aroma with notes of lime, lemongrass and subtle floral tones. They are typically used whole, added to the pan while cooking, then removed before serving, much like bay leaves. A small amount gives a clear, zesty lift to coconut-based Thai green curry, fragrant rice dishes and light broths. Because they are dried, they are easy to keep on hand, making it simple to add authentic kaffir lime flavour whenever a recipe calls for it.

Key Features:

  • 25g pack of dried kaffir lime leaves, ideal for regular use in aromatic dishes.
  • Distinctive citrus fragrance that works well in Thai, Vietnamese and other Southeast Asian recipes.
  • Whole dried leaves that can be added during cooking and removed before serving.
  • Convenient alternative when fresh kaffir lime leaves are hard to find.
  • Reliable, consistent flavour from Fox’s Spices, a specialist in herbs and spices.

Recipe Inspiration:

  • Thai Green Curry: Add several Fox’s Spices Kaffir Lime Leaves to the pan while gently simmering coconut milk with green curry paste, vegetables and your chosen protein. The leaves give a clean, citrus aroma that ties the curry together.
  • Fragrant Coconut Rice: Place a couple of dried kaffir lime leaves into the saucepan with rice, water or stock and a splash of coconut milk. Cook as usual for lightly scented rice that sits nicely alongside grilled meats, fish or vegetable dishes.
  • Lemongrass and Lime Leaf Soup: Simmer kaffir lime leaves with lemongrass, ginger, stock and vegetables for a light, aromatic soup. Remove the leaves before serving to leave a clear broth with a gentle citrus edge.
  • Simple Stir-Fry with Lime Leaf: Crush a dried leaf in your hand to release the aroma, then add it to hot oil with garlic and chilli before tossing in vegetables, noodles or prawns. The kaffir lime leaf adds a background citrus note without overpowering the dish.

What are kaffir lime leaves used for in cooking?

Kaffir lime leaves are used to add a distinctive citrus fragrance to curries, soups, rice and stir-fries. They are especially common in Thai and other Southeast Asian recipes, where they bring a fresh lime aroma that ordinary lime juice or zest cannot fully match.

How do you use dried kaffir lime leaves in recipes?

Dried kaffir lime leaves are usually added whole to a dish while it cooks, allowing the flavour to infuse gradually into the sauce, broth or rice. They are then removed before serving, similar to bay leaves, leaving behind a gentle citrus scent and a more rounded overall flavour.

Can dried kaffir lime leaves replace fresh ones in Thai curry?

Yes, dried kaffir lime leaves can be used instead of fresh leaves in Thai curry and similar dishes. It often works well to bruise or tear the leaves slightly before adding them to release more aroma, and you can adjust the number of leaves to match how strong you like the flavour.
