Dried lemon from Egypt isn’t just an ingredient—it’s a premium commodity trusted by global food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Grown under Egypt’s ideal climate and carefully processed to preserve peak flavor, aroma, and nutrients, our sun-dried lemon and black lemon dried varieties meet the strictest international standards.

At EIC Export, we specialize in bulk supply of dried lemon with fully customizable packaging options, backed by three decades of export excellence to Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

Why Egyptian Dried Lemon Stands Out in Global Markets?

Egypt’s unique geography and generations of expertise create perfect environment for cultivating many products.  They’re unmatched in flavor, color, with superior quality and aroma. Here’s what sets it apart:

• Optimal Climate: 300+ days of annual sunshine intensify citrus oil production, resulting in more aromatic dried lemon whole and black dry lemon products.
• Nile River Advantage: Mineral-rich sediment from Nile Delta irrigation enhances nutrient density compared to other growing regions.
• Natural Pest Resistance: Egypt’s dry climate reduces fungal risks, minimizing the need for chemical treatments in both dried yellow lemon and black lemon dried varieties.

Traditional Drying Expertise Meets Modern Technology

We employ time-tested methods adapted for today’s quality demands:

• Solar Drying Process: Our open-air sun dry lemon technique preserves 92% of natural oils (vs. 75-80% in conventional dehydrators).
• Temperature-Controlled Options: For clients preferring oven dried lemons, we maintain precise 40-45°C to prevent nutrient loss.
• Quality Controls: Every batch of dry lemon black or dried lemon whole undergoes:
  – Moisture testing (maintained at 8-10%).
  – Color preservation checks.
  – Aroma potency evaluation.
