Description: A cornerstone in Middle Eastern cooking, black lime is becoming a secret weapon seasoning for foodies in-the-know. This simple ingredient has the potential to transform a whole range of dishes with just a small pinch. Savory, sour, and aromatic with musky, earthy undertones. Our ground Black Lime is grown on a family farm in Guatemala, where ripe limes are dried in the sun until they oxidize, turning black and savory. A versatile ingredient common in Persian cooking, they have a savory, tart flavor that's great on roasted meat or vegetables, in stews and anywhere you'd use lime juice. It's also a ground alternative to makrut/kaffir lime in southeast Asian dishes.
