Terre Exotique Dried Yellow Lemon 35g

Terre Exotique Dried Yellow Limes are a staple used in Middle-Eastern slow cooking to infuse dishes with their intense aroma and complex citrus flavours. Made from green limes that have been soaked in brine and then dried out in the sun, this authentic process is what gives them their subtle fermented taste. The drying process is not as long as black dried limes, which is what allows them to maintain their paler shade, which they can then absorb the colour of the food they are cooked in. 

Either infuse whole in a Persian Lamb Tagine or in the boiling water with rice, or grind to a powder and use as a rub for meat and vegetable skewers. 

About Terre Exotique

Terre Exotique works directly with hundreds of specialist farmers and producers around the world – to bring the very best peppers, spices and salts to our tables. The company was founded by Erwann de Kerros, a Breton and seasoned traveller. After tasting pepper in the Penja plantation in Cameroon, Kerros yearned to try other specialist peppers and spices – and Terre Exotique was born.

The company works closely with farmers to preserve natural habitats, and to ensure a sustainable income for local communities. Each spice is carefully packed in tins or glass jars – with no plastic. The metal tins preserve the flavours and aroma of your spice, by protecting them from sunlight. So the ingredients stay at their best for longer.
