Zereshk is the Persian name for the dried fruit of Berberis vulgaris

Zereshk is the Persian name for the dried fruit of Berberis vulgaris, Barberries are rare, tasteful, and healthy. They're very tiny red berries that are sold in dried form. Because these berries are tart, they need a little sugar to balance the taste, which are widely cultivated in Iran. Iran is the largest producer of zereshk and saffron in the world. Zereshk and saffron are produced on the same land and the harvest is at the same time.
The South Khorasan province in Iran is the main area of Zereshk and saffron production in the world. Barberry cultivation in Iran is concentrated in the South Khorasan province, especially around Birjand and Qaen. About 85% of production is in Qaen and about 15% in Birjand. According to evidence the cultivation of seedless barberry in South Khorasan goes back to two hundred years ago.
A garden of zereshk is called zereshk-estan.
