Description

Like fresh limes, just without the juice. Shade-dried limes, also known as dried Persian limes or dried white limes, infuse sauces with complex citrus flavours and subtle fermented notes.

Made from ripe, green limes, these whole dried limes are left to dry in the sun until their skin hardens, developing a unique depth of flavour. Unlike black limes, they undergo a shorter drying period, allowing them to retain their lighter shade and take on the colour of the food they are cooked in.

A staple of Middle Eastern and Persian cuisine, they add depth to stews, soups and rice dishes.

Other names for dried white limes include limoo amani and noomi basra.

Available for nationwide UK delivery, bringing authentic Persian flavours straight to your kitchen.
