کشمش پلویی — ۱ پوند
V-Red Raisins (keshmesh polooi) are sweet, plump, and chewy red raisins — the classic Persian polo raisin, specifically the variety traditionally used in Persian rice dishes and cooking. Keshmesh is one of the most essential and versatile ingredients in Iranian cuisine, used in a wide range of beloved Persian dishes from sweet rice pilafs to stews, stuffings, and desserts. The polooi (polo) variety is prized for its plump, juicy texture and balanced sweetness that holds up beautifully in cooked dishes without becoming mushy — making it the preferred raisin for Persian cooking. At $5.99/lb it is also an excellent everyday value. Sold by the pound.
Use as a key ingredient in shirin polo (Persian sweet rice) alongside pistachio slivers, almond slivers, orange peel, barberries, and carrots for a festive, jewel-toned celebration rice, add to morasa polo (jewelled rice) for a sweet, fruity element, use in Persian stuffed dishes (dolmeh) and meatballs (koofteh) for a sweet, savoury contrast, enjoy as a naturally sweet, satisfying everyday snack straight from the bag, use in baking for Persian sweets, cookies, cakes, and energy bars, add to salads and grain bowls for a sweet, chewy element, or mix into granola and trail mixes. A Persian pantry essential.
