Dried Black Lemon (Loomi / Dried Lime)

Unlock the unique sour and earthy notes of Middle Eastern cuisine with Dried Black Lemon, also known as Loomi or Dried Lime. These are typically small limes that have been boiled in brine and then thoroughly dried, concentrating their flavor.

• Flavor: Unlike fresh lemons or limes, Dried Black Lemon offers an intense, pungent sourness combined with complex earthy, musky, and subtly smoky notes. It provides a deep, preserved tartness rather than bright, fresh acidity.
• Culinary Uses: A fundamental ingredient in Persian Gulf cuisines, Loomi is essential for adding its distinctive tang to slow-cooked stews (like Ghormeh Sabzi or Gheimeh), soups, rice dishes (Kabsa), fish, and meat preparations.
• How to Use: Usually pierced or cracked and added whole to simmering dishes, allowing the deep flavors to infuse during cooking (remove before serving). It can also be ground into a powder to use in spice blends or as a direct seasoning.
• Appearance: Whole, hard, lightweight, and brittle dried citrus, with colors ranging from tan to dark brown or black.
