Daun Jeruk Frozen (Frozen Kaffir Lime Leaves)

Fresh Kaffir Lime Leaves, Preserved by Freezing

Daun Jeruk Frozen are fresh kaffir lime leaves that have been cleaned and frozen to maintain their natural fragrance and colour. Freezing helps extend shelf life while preserving the strong citrus aroma that is essential in many Southeast Asian recipes.

Known for their glossy dark green appearance and slightly thick texture, kaffir lime leaves are widely used in Indonesian cuisine to enhance soups, stews, sambal, and coconut-based dishes with a bright, citrusy character.
