Traditional Dried Black Lime Paste Suitable for Persian Stews by Galenus – 450 gr (2x)

Black Lime Paste, also known as “Loomi Paste,” is a concentrated, flavorful condiment used widely in Middle Eastern and Persian cuisines. This unique paste is made from dried black limes (also called loomi), which are sour, slightly smoky, and tangy. The limes are sun-dried until they turn black and wrinkled, intensifying their tartness and earthy flavor. Once dried, they are ground into a fine paste, which retains all the aromatic qualities of the limes. Black Lime Paste is commonly used to season stews, soups, rice dishes, and marinades, adding a complex citrusy depth and a hint of smokiness that elevates the overall taste profile of the dish.
The versatility of Black Lime Paste lies in its ability to balance both savory and tangy flavors. It is often used in traditional dishes like Persian Khoresh and Arabic lamb stews, where its tartness pairs beautifully with rich, hearty meats. Additionally, it can be mixed into sauces, dressings, or even used as a dip when combined with olive oil. With its bold and distinctive flavor, Black Lime Paste is a must-have ingredient for anyone looking to explore authentic Middle Eastern or Mediterranean cuisine and add a unique twist to their dishes.
