Limau Kasturi

aka Kalamansi aka Calamondin.

Calamondin or Calamansi (scientific name: Citrus microcarpa) is a fruit tree in the family Rutaceae that was developed in and is very popular throughout Southeast Asia, especially the Philippines, where it is most commonly used for cooking.

The fruit of the calamondin resembles a small, round lime, usually 25-35mm in diameter, but sometimes up to 45mm. It has the color of a tangerine with a very thin green or orange colored peel. Despite its appearance and aroma, the taste of the fruit itself is quite sour, though the peel is sweet. Like other citrus fruits, the calamondin is high in vitamin C.


From http://www.asianrecipesnet.com/, Calamansi lime in Malay is called “limau kasturi” and in Penang local dialog (Hokkien) it is called “Keat la”. In Malaysia, it is commonly used in foods and beverages such as in this  Jus Limau Kasturi recipe.

The kaffir lime is a rough, warty green fruit that grows on thorny bush with aromatic and distinctively shaped "double" leaves. It is well suited to container growing. The green lime fruit is distinguished by its bumpy exterior and its small size (approx. 4 cm wide).

Kaffir lime leaves are also a popular ingredient in South East Asian cooking, such as Indonesian, Laotian, cambodian and Thai (มะกรูด).
