In Persian culture, eating rice (polo or pilaf) is very common and popular🍚. We have a wide variety of rice dishes that showcase the versatility of this ingredient. From Loobia Polo (a delicious mix of rice and green beans) to Sabzi Polo (herbed rice) and Shirin Polo (sweet rice with nuts and orange peel), each dish tells a story of tradition, family, and love.
