Dried Things Store
One of traditional stores in Iran is Ajil and Khoshkbar Stores that sells different things. You can see this kinds of stores everywhere in the cities specially in traditional Bazaars. As I have explained before, Iranians love to eat dried nuts and fruits in family gatherings and celebrations specially during Nowruz which is New Year’s Day at the beginning of spring. I love to buy dried plums and apricot because it has a yummy sour and sweet taste and we have different kinds of plums in my country for example we have dried red big plums that is sour and small yellow plums that are sweet and so yummy. Of course we use these plums in cooking different foods like Khuresht Alu, Khuresht Alu Esfenaj and Morgh Alu.
You can see dried nuts that I explained it as Ajil, dried fruits, dried walnut, berries and Lavashak that is boiled and dried mixture of different summer fruits.
Iranians like to eat Ajil or nuts with Dried fruits when they visit each other, watching TV or during new years holiday called Nowruz which is at the begining of spring season. Different kinds of nuts are: almond, hazlenut, pistachio, cashew, peanut, sunflower seed, red watermelon seed, squash seed, Jabuni seed, salted chikpea and raisin.
