The leaves, peel and juice of the Kaffir Lime are used as a flavouring in Thai cuisine. Imparting a unique flavour, they can be finely shredded and added to salads, or torn and added to soups and curries. Can be substituted with other lemon-flavoured herbs, but the best option is to freeze the leaves when you can find them, as they retain all their flavour and texture on thawing. The leaves and peel contain a volatile oil. The major therapeutic benefit of the juice is as an appetizer.
