Iran is a big country and thanks to that, it offers a variety of dishes and cuisines for all types of tastes.
Iran benefits from a variety of local native ingredients such as:
Pistachios, almonds, walnuts, saffron, mint, oranges, pomegranates and grapes.
Thanks to its variable climate and its four distinct seasons, the ancient Persians have managed to transform the vast stretches of arid land into fertile oases by underground aquifers that drew melted snow water into the desert. This resulted in rich, sensuous, fruit-and-herb filled cuisine all over Iran.
If you thought Culture, Historical monuments or the nature is the only things Iran has to offer, think again
