About Makrut Lime

The makrut lime stands out for its broadly winged leaf stalks and its green, bumpy fruit. This highly aromatic tropical citrus is grown mainly for its leaves and its zest, whose strong fragrance is best used in small amounts in cooking.

Makrut Lime or another variety?

The makrut lime shares the indicative hardiness of the Tahiti lime (-5 °C); but where the Tahiti lime offers lively, fragrant juice, the makrut lime is grown above all for its leaves and zest. To explore further, see our “Lemons and lemon substitutes” category.

Frequently asked questions
