or fish), vegetables (such as onions and various herbs), and nuts. Fresh green herbs are
frequently used, along with fruits such as plums, pomegranate, quince, prunes, apricots,
and raisins. Characteristic Iranian flavourings such as saffron, dried lime, cinnamon,
and parsley are mixed and used in some special dishes.
