I'm a convert
I've been making my own vanilla extract for over a decade and used to buy my beans based on reviews at a Infamous Global seller. Was never sure what I would get. Then I found this company! The beans were beautiful! Fragrant, moist but not too moist, easy to cut open to expose the seeds and each Bean was six to seven inches long. I'm a happy extract maker! 💝💃🥳
High Quality Vanilla - excellent customer service.

Black Lime Powder, Ground Loomi: A Versatile Ingredient for Bold, Persian-Inspired Flavors
Black limes are an essential ingredient in Persian cuisine, offering a citrusy flavor with deep, earthy undertones. While whole black limes are ideal for slowly infusing dishes with their distinctive tartness, ground black lime powder offers a convenient and versatile option for quick-cook recipes, beverages, and dishes, delivering the same bold flavor in less time.
Our black lime powder is made from grinding high-quality, whole loomi from Guatemala into a fine powder. Use your black lime powder for rimming cocktail glasses, in rubs for meats and seafood, and more!

Additional details about our dried black lime powder
This powdered form of dried loomi captures all the citrusy tartness of Persian black limes while offering earthy undertones and a subtle, natural smokiness. The flavor profile combines a bright citrus tang reminiscent of sour candy with a slightly bitter edge, making it an indispensable souring agent in cooking.
Dried black lime powder has a distinctly different flavor profile compared to fresh lime or lime zest. While fresh lime and lime zest are bright, tangy, and citrusy, dried black lime powder is more complex, with deep, slightly fermented notes. The processes of scalding fresh limes in a salty brine and drying in the sun intensify the lime's natural tartness and adds an earthy, umami-rich quality. It also introduces a mild bitterness and subtle sweetness that are absent in fresh lime. These unique characteristics make dried black lime powder a versatile ingredient, particularly in Middle Eastern and Persian cuisines, where it enhances savory dishes with a rich, tangy depth.
