Deeply aromatic ground black lime with tart citrus, earthy depth and a lightly fermented character.

Flavor & cooking character

Tart, citrusy, earthy, slightly fermented and gently bitter.

Its dark citrus character brings earthy depth as well as tartness. It will not taste like a squeeze of fresh lime; too much can emphasize bitterness, so build the flavor gradually in a moist dish.

What to cook

Kabsa, rice, lentils, stews, braises, grilled meats, vegetables, soups and marinades.

How much to use & when to add it

Start with 1/4 teaspoon per cup of stew or 1/2 teaspoon per pound of vegetables.

Add a little during cooking, then taste before adding another acidic ingredient.

Use this amount as a starting point for flavor, then adjust to your food and taste. If other ingredients bring salt, sweetness or heat, account for those before adding more seasoning.

Kitchen idea: Black lime lentils

Warm 1 cup cooked lentils with 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon black lime. Simmer gently, then finish with parsley and a small pinch of cumin. Serve over rice with roasted onions.
