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.
