Black Persian Lemons (Loomi) are whole sun-dried limes or lemons traditionally used in Persian, Middle Eastern, and Gulf cuisine. The drying process turns them dark brown to black and concentrates their natural citrus oils, resulting in a bold tangy, smoky, sour, and slightly fermented flavor.
Perfect for adding depth and complexity to stews, soups, rice dishes, and spice blends.
