Lime leaf
Pronounce it: ly-m leef
Lime leaves are obtained from the kaffir lime, which is not a true lime at all but rather a subspecies of the citrus family. Used widely in south-east Asian cooking, especially Thai, lime leaves have a beautifully fragrant citrus smell and a fresh lemony flavour.

Tear or shred lime leaves into Thai soups and curries.
