What are sourberries?
Sourberries, also known as berberis, are small sour berries native to Iran and surrounding regions. These berries - belonging to the family Berberidaceae - have been used for centuries for their unique flavor and culinary versatility. They add a refreshing, sour touch to a wide range of dishes and are a favorite ingredient in Persian cuisine and other Middle Eastern culinary traditions.
Where do berberis berries come from?
Sourberries grow on the berberis bush, a thorny shrub often found in dry, mountainous areas. The berries themselves are small, round and bright red to purple in color. They have a distinctive sour taste reminiscent of lemon or cranberry, but with a unique and subtle aroma that adds an extra dimension to dishes.
Discover the versatility of berberis
What makes sour berries so special is that you can use them in both savory and sweet dishes. In Persian cuisine, they are often added to rice dishes, stews and kebabs to add a touch of sourness and complexity to the flavor. They are also used to prepare sauces and chutneys.
A classic Persian dish in which sour berries are often used is "zereshk polo," a rice dish with cooked chicken and a topping of saffron rice, sour berries and fried onion. The sour taste of the berries forms a perfect balance with the aromatic saffron and savory chicken.
