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.

Permitir que las limas se empapen de manera similar al uso de la hoja de laurel infundirá el sabor cítrico y agrio del líquido. Otra forma de usar loomi en la cocina es moler y pulverizar las limas secas hasta convertirlas en polvo para usarlas en especias como el bahārāt, o espolvorearlas directamente en las sopas.

Preguntas frecuentes
- Black limes, also known as loomi, noomi basri, or limoo amani, are whole limes boiled in salt water and then sun-dried until they turn black. They are a staple in Middle Eastern and Persian cooking, prized for their tangy, smoky, sour flavor. Our black limes are grown and naturally sun-dried in Guatemala's fertile valleys, using Citrus latifolia (Persian lime, also called Tahiti lime), the seedless lime variety widely cultivated across Central America. Traditional loomi from the Persian Gulf region typically uses Citrus aurantiifolia (Key lime) instead; both are true limes with a similar sour, tangy profile suited to the same culinary uses. Despite sometimes being called 'black lemon' in translation (or 'limón,' the local Spanish name in Guatemala), black limes are made from lime, not lemon.
- Black limes can be used whole or ground. To use whole, pierce or slice the dried lime with a knife and add it directly to soups, stews, or braising liquid, letting it steep the way you would a bay leaf, then remove before serving. To use ground, crack the lime open and grind the dried flesh and rind into a powder for spice rubs like baharat, or sprinkle directly into dishes. Black limes are also used in teas, brines, marinades, and modern applications like ceviche. If you'd rather skip grinding them yourself, we also carry a ready-made Black Lime Powder.
- Black limes are boiled in salt water before sun-drying, producing their dark color and deeper, smokier flavor. White dried limes are typically sun-dried without the salt-water step, resulting in a lighter color and a brighter, more straightforward citrus flavor without the same smoky depth. Black limes are more commonly used in slow-cooked stews, while white limes are often used where a simpler sour note is desired.
- Yes. Because black limes are naturally sun-dried outdoors rather than processed under controlled industrial conditions, some variation in color is expected. Limes that are mostly black with minor gray mottling or lighter patches are within normal range and reflect natural differences in sun exposure and drying time across the batch. This is cosmetic, not a sign of poor quality. Limes showing fuzzy white or green patches, a soft or spongy texture, or an off, musty smell should not be used, as these are signs of spoilage.
- Store black limes in a cool, dry place, off the floor and away from walls, under normal warehouse or pantry conditions. Properly stored, they have a shelf life of approximately 24 to 36 months, though some variability is inherent to agricultural products. Our black limes are Kosher certified and meet all standards for human consumption under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, prepared under sanitary, good manufacturing conditions.
