Black & Yellow Lemons, actually dried limes, owe their name to an English translation from Arabic. Popular in the Middle East and surrounding regions, they are used as a souring agent in chutneys, soups, and stews, and are even ground into flatbreads. These dried limes are made by boiling ripe limes in salt water and then sun-drying them until their insides turn yellow.
Flavor Profile:
The powder made from yellow lemons has a unique sweet-tart flavor with no substitute. Yellow limes are strongly flavored, tasting sour and citrusy like lime but lacking the sweetness of fresh limes. Due to preservation, they also have a slightly bitter, fermented flavor.
Culinary Uses:
Middle Eastern Cuisine:Enhance the flavor of legumes, seafood, and meat dishes by piercing, peeling, or crushing yellow limes before adding them. After cooking, they become softer and edible.
Asian Cuisine:Incorporate dried limes into biryanis and pilafs to add a distinct tangy flavor. Use them in curries, marinades, and pickles for a unique twist.
Rice Dishes: Yellow limes are an excellent addition to rice dishes, providing a distinctive taste that elevates the overall flavor.
Soups and Stews: Add dried limes to soups and stews to impart a deep, sour, and slightly bitter note, enhancing the complexity of the dish.
