We know what you're thinking: what on planet earth is a black lime? Follow us to Guatemala, where this spice is harvested. Limes grow heavy in the blistering sun, get plucked from trees, and are left to oxidize (aka turn black). This gives them a more savory quality. Cooking with black lime is a real treat. And if you need a little guidance, look to Persian households. Dishes like saffron chicken and lamb stew wouldn't be what they are without the unique spice.

Avocado Toast's Best Friend
Hi Hive! It's Kate from the Merch team. I tried this product purely out of curiosity. Sure, I like limes in drinks or squeezed on fish, but I was totally unfamiliar with ground, dried lime. Little did I know what I'd been missing! This spice brings just the right sharpness without the liquid of a fresh lime, making it the perfect topping for avocado toast - with, dare I say it, a drizzle of Enzo's Bold Olive Oil and a few flake's of Jacoben's Flake Salt!

Have not tried the Black Lime spice yet.
However, I am so excited to!

Great for fish
Excellent. It is my go to spice for salmon, tuna and swordfish. Always get compliments.Great for fish.

Great product
It has a lite lime flavor just fantastic on everything I cooked with it

Good but not great
Interesting, novel, yet not as " limey" as I had expected. P
