--MAKRUT LIME-- There has been some controversy surrounding one of the names of the Makrut lime, Kaffir, as it has derogatory connotations in South African and Middle Eastern cultures, which is why we prefer to simply call them Thai limes. Makrut Thai limes are botanically classified as Citrus hystrix. Thai Lime trees are easy to care for and have a wonderful, aromatic fragrance. Makrut Thai lime trees grow very well in containers- outdoors or indoors. This is a great choice for first time citrus growers who also like to cook. The leaves, zest, and juice of the Thai Lime tree are used in Thai, Cambodian, and Indonesian cooking. The zest of the fruit can also be used in curries or soups.
