Kaffir lime = jeruk
purut = leech lime = limau purut = magrood = makroot

Thai cooks use these golf ball-sized
limes to give their dishes a unique aromatic
flavor. Kaffir limes have very little juice,
usually just the zest is used.

Lemon 
This very sour citrus fruit is rarely
eaten out of hand, but it's widely used for its
juice, rind, and zest.
|
Lime
These tart green fruits are similar
to lemons, but they're more acidic and have their
own unique flavor.
|
Limequat
This is a cross between a lime and a
kumquat. It's similar in size and shape to a
kumquat, but with a green or yellow-green skin. It
has a strong lime flavor.

Mandarin
orange
These have a pleasant
enough flavor, but their big asset is that they come
out of their peels and segment easily, so you can
eat them in your good clothes.

Orange
= sweet orange
Most American oranges are produced in
Florida and California. Florida oranges are
juicier, and better suited to squeezing, while
California oranges segment more easily and are
better for eating out of hand. The best oranges are
smaller, thin-skinned, and heavy for their size.
|
Pomelo
= pummelo = Chinese
grapefruit = shaddock
This has a very thick peel, so you
have to work hard to eat it. Many people think it's
worth the trouble, for the pulp is milder and
sweeter than its closest substitute, the
grapefruit.
