This process develops a unique, intensely tangy, and slightly smoky flavor with pronounced citrus notes. Whole Black Lime is commonly used in cooking to add depth and complexity to dishes such as stews, soups, and rice, where its tangy acidity and aromatic qualities enhance the overall flavor profile. Especially popular in Persian and Gulf cuisines, loomi is prized for its ability to impart a distinctive, zesty kick to traditional recipes, making it an essential ingredient for those seeking to explore authentic Middle Eastern flavors.
