Black Lemons
Deep, Citrusy Intensity from the Middle East
Also known as black lemons, limoo amani, or noomi basra, these dried Persian limes are a cornerstone of Middle Eastern and Persian cooking—famed for their bold, tangy flavour and aromatic depth.
Made from ripe green limes soaked in brine and sun-dried until they turn dark and intensely fragrant, they deliver musky, citrusy, and slightly fermented notes that transform slow-cooked dishes.
A must-have for any Middle Eastern pantry, perfect for enriching stews, soups, tagines, and rice dishes with a uniquely complex flavour.
Available for nationwide UK delivery – bringing the bold taste of authentic dried limes 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 stews so that the hot liquids penetrate deep into the fruit and bring out the flavour
