In Iran the arrival of Spring is celebrated extensively as
the Persian new year coincides with the Spring Equinox. As spring progresses, gradually
blossoms turn into fruit. One of the highlights of spring fruit is the arrival
of Persian Green Plums. This
variety of plums is picked when they are still green. They are indeed extremely popular
amongst Iranian children and adults alike. The perfect Persian Green plum is
crunchy when bitten into, yet juicy with a pleasant tart flavor. It’s pretty much impossible to not get
hooked after the first one.
The Persian Green plum is delicious when eaten raw with a
sprinkle of salt. Additionally,
Persian Green Plums are also used in Persian cuisine to enhance some dishes’
flavor with their pleasant tart taste. A popular dish that tastes best when
cooked with Sour Plums is Koofteh Tabrizi,
a large round stuffed meat loaf simmered in beef broth with a handful of green
plums added to it. Additionally, cooking the Green Plums with cubes of lamb,
parsley, and mint makes for a delicious Khoresh,
Persian stew, which is then served over Persian rice.
