I love Lavashak

Have you ever heard about it?

Lavashak or Persian fruit leather is one of Iranians’ favourite snacks. Lavashak is made of different fruits. A thick extract of fruits is made and then dried in order to make Lavashak. In the old days, people mashed the excess amount of fruits and dried it under the sun and that is how Lavashak was first made. During the time, different combinations of fruit and additives have been used to make Lavashak. The main ingredient to make Persian fruit leather is fruit. You can make Lavashak with any fleshy fruit you like. You can even mix several kinds of fruit and get a brand new flavour. The other ingredient is salt. Salt is added both for giving Lavashak a rich taste and also to prolong its storage. Ripe fruits such as plums or sour cherries are the best for making Lavashak. Fruits need to be baked and then mashed in order to make Lavashak, therefore ripe ones require less time. Iranians usually make Lavashak with the extra amount of fruits before they go bad.
