Black Lime (Dried Lime) by Haj Mady

EGP6.00

Haj Mady's Black Lime (Loomi / Noomi Basra) consists of premium sun-dried whole limes, prized for their intensely sour, smoky, and earthy aroma — a flavour unlike any fresh citrus. Whole dried limes preserve their complex, tangy oils and deliver a depth of citrus that is impossible to achieve any other way.

A cornerstone of Gulf, Iraqi, and Egyptian cooking, black lime is essential for slow-cooked stews, lamb dishes, rice, soups, and spice blends. Complex, sour, and deeply aromatic.
