Thai Boy Red Lime Stone (Calcium Hydroxide) 100g

Traditional Thai Red Lime Stone — A Unique Culinary & Cultural Ingredient

Thai Boy Red Lime Stone (ปูนแดง) is a traditional Thai ingredient with deep roots in Thai culinary and cultural heritage. The red variety gets its distinctive colour from the addition of natural plant extracts, and is widely used in traditional Thai food preparation, betel nut chewing customs, and authentic Thai dessert making.

What Is It Used For?

• 🍪 Thai desserts & sweets — used in traditional khanom (Thai sweets) to create firm textures and vibrant colour
• 🌿 Vegetable & ingredient preparation — lime water from red lime stone helps maintain crispness and colour in vegetables and batters
• 🍚 Crispy batter — adds an extra-light, airy crunch to Thai fried snacks and fritters
• 🌟 Cultural & traditional use — a key ingredient in traditional Thai betel nut (mak) preparations
• 🇹🇭 Authentic Thai ingredient — a rare find outside Thailand, now available in Australia

How to Use

Dissolve a small amount in water to create red lime water (nam poon daeng). Allow to settle and use only the clear coloured liquid (not the sediment) for soaking, batters, or traditional sweet preparations. Use sparingly — a little goes a long way. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture.

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