Buy Kaffir Lime Oil

Kaffir lime is a small citrus fruit resembling a traditional lime but with rough, bumpy green skin. Its leaves are distinct, resembling two connected leaves, and have a strong, unique fragrance that cannot easily be replicated by other spices or oils from related plants.
 
The primary production of Indonesian kaffir lime comes from East Java, although it is also cultivated in other tropical climates like Madagascar and Thailand. Kaffir lime seedlings thrive in warm, temperate conditions, with the leaves being regularly clipped to promote growth. Once mature, the leaves are harvested and steam distilled to extract the oil. Export quantities generally range from 2 to 3 Metric Tons, remaining stable in both quantity and price.
 
Kaffir lime is known for its various uses, with the leaves being commonly added to Thai dishes, particularly in soups and sauces like Tom Yum soup. The strong flavor is attributed to high concentrations of citronellol, limonene, and nerol, which also contribute to its numerous health benefits. These include detoxifying the blood, promoting oral health, stimulating the digestive system, reducing the appearance of scars and wrinkles, serving as a natural insect repellent, strengthening the immune system, and benefiting male hair and scalp by preventing balding and dandruff.
