Zereshk (Barberry)
In Sweden, zereshk barberry is sometimes called sour buckthorn. The barberry plant grows naturally in Iran, Turkey and the Caucasus. Can also be found in Europe, it was exported there as a medicinal plant. In Sweden it grows wild and is poisonous. Barberry has a sour taste. It is used in a very popular dish called Zereshk polo (Rice with Berberis) which is served with a chicken casserole but there are some iranians from other parts of Iran such as Mashad who top their stews, casseroles and other dishes with these berries. Barberry can be eaten either fresh or dry. Can be bought in Oriental food stores.
