Black Limes

What is Black Lime?

Black Lime, also known as dried lime or loomi, is a sun-dried or oven-dried lime used in Middle Eastern, North African, and Persian cuisine. It has a tangy, slightly fermented flavor—like lime juice with a smoky, earthy depth and a hint of bitterness. The drying process intensifies the citrus notes while introducing complex savory and umami undertones.

Grind it into a powder – Add to spice blends, marinades, or rubs. Think grilled meats, roasted veggies, or even popcorn. Drop into soups, stews, curries, or braised dishes. It infuses slow-cooked meals with bright acidity and depth. Toss a cracked black lime into your rice pot while cooking for subtle citrus aroma and flavor. In beverages – Add a wedge or powder to tea, shrubs, or cocktails for a zesty twist. Mix a pinch of the powder into chocolate, caramels, or even meringues for a surprising citrus contrast.
