Lime Zest That Beats The Rest

Kaffer Limes have a bumpy rind that gives them a unique look, different from common limes with smooth skin. However, that’s not why they’re the most popular lime used by chefs all over the world. Their popularity stems from their strong zesty flavor.

The flavor of Kaffer Limes is often described as a powerful jolt of sour citrus, which adds a delightful kick to numerous different recipes. By adding just a little of the peel to curries, soups, pies, and more you’ll be adding an irresistible spicy lime flavor that will be sought after again and again.

Although Kaffer limes are abundant producers of fruit, you don’t have to wait until your limes are ready to be harvested to enjoy their zesty taste. Their leaves have the same powerful flavor as the peels. You can pick leaves off of your tree to season your dishes all year.

Kaffer limes are hard to find in grocery stores. If you do manage to find one, they’ll be expensive. It’s much easier to grow tons of fresh limes at home. With the Kaffer Lime’s low maintenance qualities and ability to thrive in containers indoors, you won’t have to leave your home for fresh fruit.
