Of course, you find a lot of them and other kinds of citrus in  Southeast Asia .  The fruits and leaves are very useful for cooking and other home remedies.  You can use the rinds for cooking too, but you don’t want to leaves them  in the pot so long.  They would give a bitter taste if you eat them.  You might want to pick them up after a few minutes in the pot.  Some folks, especially women,  use the rinds for having a great looking skin.  The fruit juice can be used to shampoo your hair.  It leaves a clean and soft texture.  For the salad and the fish cake, young kaffir lime leaves are preferred.

Even though some cooking recipes mentioned that you can substitute the kaffir lime leaves with lemon grass or lemon grass mixed with lime zest.  They are not even close  kaffir lime leaves because the fragrance is total different.  It is unique and one of a kind.

Keep in mind though the fresh kaffir lime leaves are much better than dried ones.  Those dried ones tend to lose the fragrance which is important in Thai cooking.  You can use them for substitute, but not quite like the fresh ones.  Fresh ingredient is the key to have a real Thai cooking flavor.  Don’t risk your wonderful flavor for substitute or dried ingredients.
