Whole Dried Black Limes (Loomi) for Persian Stews, Rice and Spice Blends — Greenfields 55g

Greenfields Black Lime Dried - 55g are premium sun-dried black limes (loomi) from Greenfields, offering a unique tangy, smoky, and slightly bitter sourness that is the hallmark of Persian and Middle Eastern cooking. Limes are boiled in salt water and then sun-dried until they turn black, concentrating their citrus flavour into an intensely aromatic, shelf-stable spice used whole, pierced, or ground.

Why Choose Greenfields Dried Black Limes?

Black limes provide a souring note that is distinctly different from fresh lime or tamarind — earthier, smokier, and more complex, with a slightly fermented depth that develops during the drying process. Greenfields sources loomi for consistent colour, dryness, and aromatic intensity. The 55g pack is ideal for home cooks who cook Persian, Iraqi, or Gulf cuisine regularly and want an authentic, ready-to-use supply of this essential souring spice.

Serving Suggestions

• Pierce whole and add to slow-cooked lamb, chicken, or fish stews (ghormeh sabzi, machboos) for tangy, smoky depth
• Add whole to rice dishes and pilafs during cooking for a subtle citrus-smoke background flavour
• Grind into powder and use in spice rubs, marinades, and za’atar-style blends
• Steep in warm water to make a tangy souring liquid for soups and broths
