Keshmesh Polowee (Pilaf Raisins) are a type of raisin made from dried grapes, specifically used in Iranian cuisine. These raisins are known for their balanced sweetness, soft texture, and golden-brown or dark color, making them ideal for traditional dishes like Adas Polo, Morasa Polo, and Zereshk Polo.
They are typically sautéed lightly with caramelized onions to enhance their flavor before being added to the dishes. Their natural sweetness beautifully complements the savory and tangy flavors of Persian cuisine.
In addition to their culinary use, they are rich in iron, antioxidants, and provide a natural source of energy. Perfect for both enhancing flavors and adding a nutritional boost to meals.
