What goes with Dried Lime?
Whole loomi-style dried lime combines a brittle citrus shell, papery flesh and hard seeds. Its sourness is accompanied by dark peel, tea-like bitterness and a musky dried-fruit aroma. It supplies concentrated seasoning rather than fresh fruit juice. Pale and dark products vary, so the colour alone should not decide how much enters a pot.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Dried Lime?
Rich meat, legumes and rice give dried lime enough body to balance its concentrated sourness. Fried herbs extend its dark aromatic side; mild dairy can soften a sharply seasoned bite. For delicate food, make and strain an infusion first. Keep the dried citrus character distinct instead of trying to imitate a squeeze of fresh lime.
