Lemongrass, or citronella root, is the reason Thai and Vietnamese dishes often have a compelling flavor that's not exactly lemon, but a subtle lemon perfume. It is sold by the stalk which resembles a green onion. Serving tips: Use the portion of the white base up to where the leaves begin to branch. If slightly dry, soak in warm water to rehydrate. Shred or finely slice and add to soups, curry dishes, and sauces for seafood. More information about lemongrass.
Thai Basil, or "horapa" in Thai, has a unique flavor unlike other traditional basil such as Italian. The aroma is stronger, has a sweeter, peppery flavor and comes with hearty purple stems. Often eaten fresh, a great garnish to eat fresh with anything!
Kaffir lime leaves add an unmistakable, refereshing taste that is essential in many Thai soups & curries. The combination of lemongrass and lime leaves is a fantastic blast of flavor. The leaves have a strong fragrance and flavor that can not really be substituted. To experience the wonderful aroma, sliver the leaves with a knife or scissors and you'll begin to understand just how wonderful this plant is. Kaffir lime leaves grow in doubles. Sizes vary, but the average individual leaf is approx 2" long. Harvesting is done by hand and it's difficult because the branches have long thorns, so they tend to be expensive and not easily found in supermarkets. Our kaffir lime leaves are strong hearty and fresh. They freeze very well-just place in a ziplock bag & they'll retain their flavor for months. No need to defrost, just use as normal.
Thai chile peppers (Prik ki nu). Also known as birdseye chile peppers, these are small and one of the strongest varieties available. Used in many Thai soups and curries (if you browse our recipe section, you'll find that almost every recipe calls for this product). Our chile peppers have excellent shelf life if refrigerated, and fresh green stems.
Fresh galangal (kha) More about galangal here. This root has a shiny, thin skin and is a relative of ginger but with a much more pungent and fiery flavor. Galanga is native to the cuisines of Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. It is an important ingredient with lemon grass, chile peppers, shallots, and garlic for Thai curry pastes and soups. Use it sliced and minced to add flavor to stir-frys. Prepare first by scraping off any large protrusions or uneven pieces. Be careful not to use too much galangal, as it can overpower the taste of a dish. Fresh galangal freezes well. We also offer dried galangal.
