Dried lime, also known as: black lime;[1]noomi basra (Iraq);[2]limoo amani (Iran); and loomi (Oman),[3] is a lime that has lost its water content, usually after having spent a majority of its drying time in the sun. They are used whole, sliced, or ground, as a spice in Middle Eastern dishes. Originating in Persian Gulf[4][5] – hence the Iranian name limoo amani and Iraqi name noomi basra ("lemon from Basra") – dried limes are popular in cookery across the Middle East.
