Dried Lime (Limoo Amani / Loomi): Iran’s Aromatic Spice for Culinary, Beverage & Export Markets
Dried lime — known regionally as Limoo Amani (Iran), Loomi (Oman), and Noomi Basra (Iraq) — is a distinctive sun-dried citrus ingredient prized across the Middle East for its intensely sour, slightly fermented flavor and smoky aroma. It is used whole, sliced, or powdered in stews, soups, marinades, spice blends, and herbal teas, and is increasingly sought by international buyers for both culinary and specialty-food applications.
