]]> Editor’s note: In many countries the word “kaffir” is an ethnic slur. While the etymology of the term is debatable, it may have originated from the Arabic word kafir, which means “infidel” or “unbeliever.” More recently, within apartheid Africa and India, it was used to refer to the native black population in a derogatory manner. It is particularly offensive to Black South Africans, and there is a strong movement, with a valid argument, to ban the use of it entirely. We do not wish to offend anyone, however in the United States, the term doesn’t overtly carry these negative connotations. The “k-word” is still widely used to refer to the fruit in the culinary marketplace. Other possible names include wild limes, Thai limes, and a non-offensive alternative that has been adopted is the Thai word, Makrut.

Read more ‘food for thought’ on the controversial nomenclature in the following articles. We thank our readers who have brought this to our attention.
