Much of their cardamom ends up in the Middle East, where cardamom coffee is a morning staple. Our partner farmer's Middle Eastern customers wanted to see if he could also provide them with whole black limes, another spice common in Persian cuisine, and he was happy to oblige.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeet the Farmers\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCecilia and her husband Jonathan work together with Emilio (Milo) to run the drying facility two hours outside Guatemala City. Cecilia's father learned how to dry limes from a Middle Eastern spice buyer in the 1970s, and they made a family business of drying and grinding the limes that grow abundantly in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. (They are not used in the local cuisine, but Cecilia makes a mean lemon pie with the ground black lime.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCecilia, Jonathan and Milo oversee a hand-built drying area of rows of raised earth platforms that stretch as far as the eye can see. Furrows between the rows give the lime juice an outlet to run off into as they dry. It takes 2-3 months for the limes to transform from bright green fresh fruit to sun-cured, blackened, hard limes. The process is overseen by workers who turn the limes throughout the day, ensuring they dry evenly. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-highlight-icons\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-highlight-text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlta Verapaz, Guatemala\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-highlight-icons\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-highlight-text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eAliases:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimu omani, Persian lime, Omani lime\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-highlight-icons\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-highlight-text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eProcess:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSun-dried, then ground\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-highlight-icons\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-highlight-text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting notes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCitrus Peel • Sauvignon Blanc • Leather\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Burlap \u0026 Barrel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48351404622078,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0257\/0774\/1261\/files\/black_lime_powder.jpg?v=1781222143","url":"https:\/\/livelyolive.com\/products\/zanzibar-black-peppercorns-2oz","provider":"Lively Olive Tasting Bar Port Townsend \u0026 Bainbridge Island","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
