Aged Sun-Dried Hassawi Lime – The Liquid Treasure of Al-Ahsa
Hassawi lime is the second most important agricultural product in Al-Ahsa Governorate after dates, with trees spread across over 250,000 hectares and an average yield of 25–30 kg per tree per season . The fruit is distinguished by its thin peel, fragrant aroma, and high juice content compared to other citrus varieties .
From this rich agricultural heritage, our product "Moattaq" or "Al-Moshammas" – as it is locally known – is crafted using a traditional handcrafted method passed down through generations :
Production Process: We select premium green limes and press them manually (mechanical pressing can damage the peel and cause spoilage). The juice is filtered from seeds and exposed to sunlight in a glass container covered with light fabric for 8 to 21 days until it dries and condenses .
