Black lime dried

Discover the delights of Persian cuisine with Terre Exotique dried black lemon, also known as “Limoo”.

Originally from Iran, this treasure is the result of a meticulous artisanal process.

Lemon limes are carefully boiled in salted water, then left to dry for several weeks until their skin and flesh turn a dark shade and their texture becomes dry and brittle.

This drying process intensifies the natural flavors of the lemon, creating a flavor-rich ingredient that has become a mainstay of Persian cuisine.

Prepare for an explosion of flavors by simply adding pieces of dried black lemon to your dishes. On contact with liquids, the lemon rehydrates, thus releasing its subtle and complex aromas.

For an even bolder twist, grind dried black lemon into powder using a mortar or electric grinder, and use this aromatic spice to flavor your baked goods, sauces, stews, soups and more.

The tangy and smoky notes of this dried black lemon enhance macaroons, ice creams and chocolate desserts.

Terre Exotique dried black lemon and many other spices from around the world are available in our selection of sweet grocery products. Good tasting !
