Authentic Thai Cooking Lime Stone — A Traditional Kitchen Essential

Thai Boy White Lime Stone (calcium hydroxide / ปูนขาว) is a traditional Thai culinary ingredient used for centuries in authentic Thai cooking and food preparation. An essential pantry item for serious Thai home cooks and a fascinating ingredient for those exploring the depth of Thai cuisine.

What Is It Used For?

• 🍪 Crispy batter & fritters — a small amount added to batter creates an extra-light, crispy texture in Thai fried snacks and desserts
• 🍫 Thai sweets & desserts — used in traditional Thai khanom (sweets) to firm up texture and improve colour
• 🌿 Vegetable preparation — soaking vegetables in lime water helps maintain crispness and colour during cooking
• 🍚 Rice & grain processing — used in traditional nixtamalisation-style preparation of certain Thai dishes
• 🇹🇭 Authentic Thai ingredient — a staple in traditional Thai kitchens and street food preparation

How to Use

Dissolve a small amount in water to create lime water (nam poon sai). Use the clear liquid (not the sediment) for soaking vegetables, mixing into batters, or preparing traditional Thai sweets. Use sparingly — a little goes a long way. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture.

Note: This is a food-grade culinary ingredient. Use only as directed in recipes. Keep out of reach of children.
