Shade Dried Limes
Bright Citrus with a Subtle Fermented Twist
Like fresh limes—just without the juice—shade-dried limes, also known as dried Persian or white limes, are prized for their complex citrus notes and gentle, fermented undertones.
Made from ripe green limes and sun-dried until firm, these whole limes undergo a shorter drying time than black limes, which preserves their pale colour and allows them to absorb the hues of the dishes they’re cooked in.
A staple in Middle Eastern and Persian cooking, they bring bright, layered flavour to stews, soups, and rice dishes. Also known as limoo amani or noomi basra.
Available for nationwide UK delivery – bringing the authentic taste of Persian cuisine to your kitchen.
- Delivers sharpness and fragrance to rice dishes, marinades, meat and fish rubs, stocks and stews
- Pierce or crack open before adding them to a rice dish or tagine so that the hot liquids penetrate deep into the fruit and bring out the flavour
- Steep half a lime with honey in boiling water for a caffeine free drink
- Ground dried lime is great in a quinoa salad
