Behind our Egyptian bulk dried lemon supply lies a family heritage spanning three generations in Fayoum and the Delta region. Since 1960, we have mastered drying processes needed to produce authentic Lumi (Black Lemon) and Yellow Dried Lemons. Every batch of dried lemons is carefully processed using dried lims techniques to preserve flavor, aroma, and shelf life. With EIC for Export established in 2007, we combine traditional hand-sorting craftsmanship with modern processing to ensure uniform size and consistent quality for international buyers.

Sun Dried Lemon Processing
From Egyptian Sunlight to Stable Export Quality
Fresh yellow lemons are dried under intense, direct sunlight for extended hours throughout the day, particularly during Egypt’s extremely hot summer season. The lemons are spread over naturally heated sand and turned regularly to ensure even dehydration on all sides, resulting in uniform color, reduced moisture, and stable shelf life suitable for industrial use.
Dried Black Limes (Loomi) Production
Dual-Stage Drying for Authentic Flavor & Performance
Following the sun-drying stage, the lemons are transferred into large-scale electric drying ovens for controlled dehydration. Once oven drying is completed, the product is collected and spread again under the sun to remove any residual moisture from the oven process.
Both sun dried limes and dried black limes are then sorted manually by trained labor to ensure consistent size and quality, making them suitable for spice manufacturing, tea blending, and food processing applications.
