Citrus hystrix - Kaffir Lime

The Kaffir Lime (Citrus hystrix) is a prized culinary citrus grown for its intensely aromatic leaves and distinctive bumpy fruit. The leaves are the star of the show — essential in Thai, Indonesian, and Malaysian cooking — while the zest of the fruit adds a powerful citrus punch to dishes.

A handsome, compact citrus with glossy dark green foliage, the Kaffir Lime makes a wonderful addition to any edible garden or large pot. It attracts beneficial insects and pollinators, and the fragrant leaves can be harvested year-round.
