Dried Persian Lime Powder

The lime variety known as Persian lime has been grown in Iran for many centuries. These limes are widely available fresh. Persian groceries stock dried limes (limu-omani, which actually means “lime from Oman”). Dried lime powder (gard-e limu-omani) made from California grown limes is apt to be bitter because it contains ground seeds, but it is easy to make your own from dried Persian limes.
