Lime - Dried - Whole

Dried lime, also known as black lime or loomi, is made by boiling fresh limes in salt water and then sun-drying them until they harden and darken. It has a sharp, tangy, and slightly fermented citrus flavor with earthy and smoky undertones. Commonly used in Middle Eastern and Persian cuisine, dried lime is added whole, crushed, or ground to soups, stews, rice dishes, and marinades to add depth and a unique sourness. It is also known for its digestive and antioxidant properties.
