Black Lemon
Black lemon, also known as dried lime, is a popular ingredient in Middle Eastern and North African cuisine. It is made by boiling fresh lemons in salt water and then drying them in the sun until they turn black. Black lemon has a distinct smoky and sour flavour that is often used to add depth and complexity to stews, soups, and marinades.
We offer high-quality black lemon that is sourced from the best farms and processed using traditional methods to ensure authentic flavour and aroma.
