Kaffir lime leaves contain a distinct slightly sweet flavor described as rejuvenating and uplifting for which there is no substitute. The flavor is due to high concentrations of alkaloids, citronellal, limonene and nerol.
And the aroma of lime leaves which is captured in our powder comes from this citronellal and the addition of linalool, a powerful terpene which has an effect on serotonin receptors in the brain. It helps treat conditions such as anxiety and depression and can help combat insomnia.

In Depth Look
Kaffir lime leaves aside from their culinary benefits have a high content of beneficial organic compounds that exert a positive effect on the human body. Normally the lime leaves would be dried in an oven and then mechanically round to a fine powder. The exposure to heat reduces the positive benefits by transmuting essential oils, denaturing the enzymes, and reducing the value of thermo-sensitive vitamins and other vital ingredients.
