100% Natural Coconut Milk, Preservative-Free, Aroy-D
For the first time ever, we are pleased to offer all natural coconut milk. Made to the highest standard by Aroy-D, this coconut milk was awarded top prize in a blind taste contest among top chefs in Thailand. Aroy-D is a large company that produced a national advertising campaign promoting their status as the number one choice of chefs.
Packaged in a modern paper carton, the shelf life is one year. Consistency is nice and creamy. This is sold in a bundle of 6 boxes. Convenient size: 8.5 oz per box. One cup is 8 oz, so this is slightly more than 1 cup.
Two years we met with Prime Minister of Thailand, Samak, also a celebrity chef who had his own cooking show. He used this coconut milk to make delicious Tom Kha Salmon soup, see our video of Samak's Tom Kha Salmon.
We also offer coconut milk in cans, here at this link.
Ingredients: coconut milk 100%. No preservatives. Product of Thailand..

Fresh Kaffir Lime Leaves: Thai Cafe Kit.
Fresh kaffir lime leaves are in very short supply right now, and we're not sure for how much longer. We did just receive a small shipment of fresh kaffir lime leaves, and rather than sell them we are going to add them to this kit. In this kit you will get 15 fresh kaffir lime leaves (each leaf is a double leaf, so you get 30 leaves). Supply limited to stock on hand. (As of April 20 Lime Leaves are again out of stock)
A thoughtful mix of fresh Thai herbs with ingredients to make a delicious authentic tom yum soup, tom kha soup, Thai green curry and red curry. Expedited to your door via 2 day shipping to ensure fresh delivery (upgraded at no charge). You'll also be able to make quite a few servings of other Thai recipes. This is a great value and will have you cooking healthy Thai meals right away. Checkout with UPS Ground but we'll upgrade it to expedited 2 day at no extra charge.

Fresh Kaffir Limes, The Final Harvest Until September
At this time we have just a few dozen kaffir limes left until fall harvest of this rare fruit. Kaffir lime peel is indispensable when making your own Thai curry paste.
Kaffir lime peel is loaded with a fragrant citrus oil, and the flavor of the fruit is overwhelming if eaten fresh. The kaffir lime tree is grown and harvested mainly for the leaves which are a staple in Thai cooking, but the tree doesn't produce many of these limes. As kaffir limes aren't eaten fresh, and there's limited use for them, our grower typically strips the trees of all fruit each year to promote growth of the leaves. This year however we kept fruit on a few trees and now it's been harvested. The fruit not only looks excellent but the culinary appeal is perfect: fragrant, strong citrus flavor. Put a slice of the bitter peel in your mouth and your lips get a tingling sensation of citrus unlike anything you've tasted.
One of our longterm customers, a well-known chef, uses kaffir lime peel in seafood recipes, and in cocktails.
Kaffir lime peel is used to make Thai curry paste, by pounding it together with other ingredients in a mortar and pestle. Notice from the pictures the nice thick, white fleshy peel. This is loaded with citrus flavor and aroma. A classic Thai dish that uses kaffir limes, whole, in soup is Khanom Jin. It's also used to make candy.
Kaffir limes are used extensively in aromatherapy. Some massage oils, natural shampoos, and various herbal products call for kaffir limes but the scarcity of this fruit makes it difficult to prepare authentic versions. For anyone who might be interested, please consider ordering now because the fruit is limited to what was harvested last week, and will not be available again until next year.
Each lime is large, approx 2" diameter and weighs 1-2 oz. We'll ship your fresh limes separately via USPS Priority Mail, upgrading to 2 day service at no extra charge. Grown in USA.
