Beautiful balance of that basic flavor of celery with the aromas of coriander. We love adding these on the side of a mezze or charcuterie platter.

Traditional Iraqi lemons grilled for a little roasted flavor kick and then preserved. They are eaten whole with the rind. These make any sandwich pop and pair well with any protein.

PRO Tip: The brine on these is liquid gold, use in sauces and vinaigrettes,
