Black Lime is a versatile ingredient with a famously savory and tart flavor. Ours comes from a family farm in Guatemala. The limes are sun-dried, then ground into an easy-to-use powder. Common in Persian cooking, Black Lime is also great on roasted meat or vegetables, in stews and anywhere you'd use lime juice. It's also a good alternative to Makrut / lime leaves in southeast Asian dishes.

This black lime powder truly elevates stews and roasted meats. The savory, tart profile is incredibly unique and adds a layer of complexity I haven't found with other spices. It's finely ground, so it incorporates smoothly into sauces and rubs. Very impressed.
Adds a wonderful, distinct sour note to any dish you use it in.
I was excited to try this in a stew, but I found the flavor to be really overwhelming. Even using a small amount, it completely took over the dish, making it too tart and almost bitter. It didn't blend well with the other spices and left a strange aftertaste. Might just be too potent for my taste.
This ground black lime is incredible for adding depth to Middle Eastern and North African inspired dishes. It has a beautiful balance of tart and savory, almost smoky notes that are hard to replicate with other ingredients. I've used it in marinades for grilled chicken and in lentil soups, and the flavor is consistently vibrant. A fantastic product for anyone looking to expand their spice repertoire.
This black lime powder has become a staple for my roasted vegetables. Just a sprinkle over broccoli or carrots before roasting elevates them significantly. The tartness really brightens everything up, and the savory notes add an unexpected layer. Will definitely repurchase.
