What does Kaffir Lime Leaves look like?

• currysimple 16 years ago
  Kaffir lime leaf actually looks like 2 leaves joined together: the lower leaf is oval, while the upper leaf attached to it is more heart-shaped. Together, the leaves are several inches long (though they can come in various sizes). When fresh, these leaves are shiny and bright green, rich with natural oils. Today, Kaffir Lime Leaf is harvested in Thailand by hardy pickers (the branches of the tree are very thorny), and shipped around the world. While sometimes you can find Kaffir Lime Leaves being sold fresh in the produce section of Asian/Chinese stores and markets, it is more likely to be found in the freezer section. Frozen Kaffir Lime Leaves keep anywhere from several months to a year, and do not require thawing before use (so this is a great way to keep them handy and available in your kitchen!).
