The Kaffir lime, also known as the Kieffer, Thai or wild lime, is not considered to be a direct member of the lime species. Instead it is catagorized as one of the subspecies of citrus fruits that are linked to the lime family. This variety of lime has a very bumpy outer skin and is smaller in size. The peels from this type of lime as well as the leaves from the Kaffir lime tree are commonly used as seasonings in Asian recipes for fish, meat, poultry, vegetables, marinades, and chutneys. Since the flesh of the Kaffir is not edible, it is the grated peel or leaves most commonly used for foods. The leaves are typically torn or chopped into bits to be added to curry dishes, soups, fish stews, and poultry dishes to enhance the flavor with a citrus taste.
