Description
Dried lime slices deliver a sharp, vibrant citrus flavour with a distinctive aromatic bitterness from the peel. Drying concentrates the natural lime oils, creating an intense, refreshing profile that stands out in both sweet and savoury dishes.
Commonly used in drinks and infusions, dried lime slices are excellent in teas, cordials, cocktails and gin serves. In cooking, they pair well with fish, seafood, rice dishes and lightly spiced sauces, where their acidity lifts and brightens other flavours.
They are also valued as a natural garnish or steeped in hot water for a clean, zesty citrus drink. Bold in flavour and striking in appearance, dried lime slices bring freshness and character to a wide range of uses.
In a 50g pack there will be between 30-35 Slices
