Curry Leaf

Essential to Indian and Sri Lankan cooking, these confusingly named leaves have a herbal aroma and warm, toasty flavor that is irreplaceable! In the rue family and related to citrus, curry leaves are used extensively in Indian and South Asian dishes, although they are not found in the familiar Anglo-Indian curry spice mixes, despite what the name would imply. These curry leaves are grown and dehydrated in California to preserve optimal flavor. Best used frequently, with abandon, and within two months.
