Guest guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 An extension of my loving scent is of course, smelling aromas while I cook. My favorite shrimp curry at the moment is full of fresh kaffir lime leaves which I have a very hard time finding and fresh organic tumeric. Yummy .Yummy. I love kaffir limes both what is does to food and just tasting it plain and smelling it. Boy, are you lucky that you have it in your garden. Is it like a key lime ? Does it produce fruit? The leaves are quite a bit smaller than a regular lemon. Where does one find EO of kaffir lime? It is so much fun to be participating in a group that loves natural perfumery and more. Take Care, Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very bitter, rather juiceless and rarely used in cooking. >Where does one find EO of kaffir lime? I got my sample from camdengey.com. don't know if they still carry it. I looked up the name - combava. You could do a google search. A little goes a long way, so only purchase a small amount. >It is so much fun to be participating in a group that loves natural perfumery >and more. glad you like the group -- and our far-flung interests.

Anya http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady Hi all, I just wanted to add that as a newbie both to perfunmery and to this group I am greatful for all the information put forth here. I have some combava petigrain but I did not know it came from the kaffir lime. I think that is important for me to know! Also, I made my first perfume last week and am having a great time with it!

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Good Morning Fragranceurs, I was awoke happily to find my East Coast scenties had responded to my lime questions. Thank you so much. !!!!!! I am hoping to meet some of the listmembers this Saturday at the Scent Event. (- One more question does anyone know where to buy a Kaffir Lime Tree? And one more, is there a site that sell Indonesian fresh produce? I am looking for some special rhizomes that are used in Indonesian Food. Have a aroma filled day.
