Free from artificial additives, it’s a must-have for elevating your culinary repertoire with a genuine taste of the region. ## Description Product description Steenbergs Black Lime Powder is a classic ingredient of Middle eastern cuisine. Steenbergs Black Lime Powder is also called loomi or loumi or lumi or black limes and we source Steenbergs' loomi directly from one of our suppliers in the Lebanon. Black limes are actually whole dried sun-dried limes that are then ground down into this deep black-green powder. Dried loumi has a bittersweet flavour and we use it in our blends of kebsa and sabzi ghormeh. Loomi powder comes from powdered black limes, Citrus aurantifolia. Black limes are whole, sun-dried limes. These are 2.5-4cm in diameter (1-1.5 inches). The limes are picked, then boiled in salt water, before being dired out in the sun. Black limes have a colour that ranges from a light tan colour through to a very dark brown, which is almost black, with around 10 darker tan longitudinal stripes going from end to end. Inside the broken black limes, there is a dark sticky pith that has a pungent citrus aroma. Originally, black limes came from persia, so sometimes particular people call for a black Persian lime. Wikipedia gives a little bit of information on loomi. Black limes are a good complement to chicken and fish, for example in making a Kuwaiti Fish Stew or Kuwaiti Curried Chicken. From Steenbergs, the artisan spice company based in rural North Yorkshire, set up and still run by husband and wife team. Directions Sprinkle or mix 1-2 teaspoons into dishes during cooking or preparation. Can be used in blends such as 'sabzi ghormeh'. ## Features - Steenbergs Lumi or Black Lime Powder Standard 40g - Ideal for Middle Eastern Cooking particularly Lebanese and Persian ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004L4URL8 | | ASIN | B004L4URL8 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 135,331 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) 17 in Fresh Lemons & Limes | | Brand Name | Steenbergs | | Container Type | Jar | | Cuisine | Middle Eastern | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (68) | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (68) | | Diet Type | Vegetarian | | Item Form | Dried | | Item Package Weight | 0.16 Kilograms | | Item Type Name | Food | | Item Weight | 40 Grams | | Manufacturer | Steenbergs | | Manufacturer | Steenbergs | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 10.7 x 9.9 x 8.2 cm; 40 g | | Set Name | Standard | | Size | 40 g (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Kosher, No artificial flavour, no artificial colours | | Unit Count | 40 gram | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Steenbergs - **Item form:** Dried - **Item weight:** 40 Grams - **Number of items:** 1 - **Number of pieces:** 1 - **Package weight:** 0.16 Kilograms - **Speciality:** Kosher, No artificial flavour, no artificial colours - **Unit count:** 40 gram ## Images ![Steenbergs Lumi or Lime Powder Standard 40g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8136L6cm98L.jpg) ![Steenbergs Lumi or Lime Powder Standard 40g - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IydArG05L.jpg) ![Steenbergs Lumi or Lime Powder Standard 40g - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81JXMap0UCL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Steenbergs Lumi or Lime Powder Standard 40g - Odysea 100% Pomegranate Molasses, No added sugars, 500ml - Cerez Pazari Natural Turkish Sumac Spice Powder Ground- 150g Premium Quality Easy to Use Flapper Spice Cap- Tangy Lemony Taste Flavor- Salt Free, Gluten Free, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean Spice --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/50705489-steenbergs-lumi-or-lime-powder-standard-40g](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/50705489-steenbergs-lumi-or-lime-powder-standard-40g) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
