Red Lime Stone - Poon Dang / ปูนแดง 100g (FRESH - PLEASE CHOOSE NEXT DAY DELIVERY)
Unlock the Ancient Thai Secret to Ultimate Crispiness with Red Lime Stone (Poon Dang)
Discover the professional chef's secret behind the lasting crunch of Thai fried foods and the firm texture of pickled fruits. Red Lime Stone, known in Thai as "Poon Dang," is a traditional paste made from slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) mixed with turmeric, which gives it its distinctive salmon-pink color.
While you do not eat this paste directly, it is the essential ingredient for creating "Red Lime Water" (Nam Poon Sai). This alkaline water acts as a powerful culinary tool that interacts with food at a molecular level. When used in batter mixes, it ensures that fried bananas (Kluay Kaek) and fried chicken stay incredibly crispy for hours. When used for soaking fruits and vegetables before pickling or cooking, it firms up the texture, preventing them from becoming mushy.

The lime particles will sink to the bottom, leaving clear water on top.
