Dried black lime
Beautiful I never experienced dried black lime. I have Persian background, this one has more ancient look and taste I love it
black lime
New to me, wanted to try, often in Ottolenghi recipes. It's delicious! Anticipated something powdery, but it's more dry-sticky, you can rip the lime into small bits and put what you don't use back in the bag. I just add a bit to sauces, marinades, rice, etc.
Awesome Dried Persian Limes
I bought these dried Persian limes to make a black lime seasoning for use primarily on fish. I'm trying to shift our meals towards more of a Mediterranean diet but my wife and aren't particularly fond of fish so I've been looking for options to use seasoning to make fish more enjoyable for us. These limes were perfectly dried and exactly what I needed for my seasoning. I'm very pleased with the results and plan on using the seasoning when I make chicken or beef fajitas.
