What does LIMPA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A dark Swedish rye bread, sweetened with molasses or syrup and often flavoured with orange zest.
Limpa gets its rich brown colour and gentle sweetness from molasses or dark syrup mixed into a rye and wheat dough. Bakers frequently add orange zest, anise, or fennel, which gives the loaf a light, spiced aroma quite different from a plain rye bread. In Sweden and among Scandinavian communities elsewhere, limpa is a familiar sight on the table at Christmas.
