Loomi, lemon or black lime from Iran in 20g format, check availability whole dehydrated or in larger bag
Originally from Iran and highly appreciated in Persian food, the preparation process must be explained a little to be able to appreciate the flavors that we will find later.
The lime is preserved for a day or two with salt, then in a saucepan with water and vinegar it is brought to a boil and when it reaches the boiling point, the limes are added for only 10 seconds and washed with cold water, the process is repeated. process but this time they are not washed and left to rest
After this whitening process, since this file can also be found completely white, some holes are made and they are left without sunlight for about two months.
All this gives them an exceptional flavor and aroma, which we can add to our dishes. For example, it seems sensational to marinate strong tofu with lime and add it to a spinach salad, toasted pita bread and pomegranate molasses.
