For many years, Tehran has been one of the most significant hubs for buying and selling dried herbs in Iran, and it still maintains its prominent position.

Dried herbs are among the oldest and most widely used ingredients in Iranian cuisine, valued for their long shelf life, intense flavor, and ease of use, securing a special place on Iranian family tables. In Tehran, as Iran’s populous capital, the market for buying and selling dried herbs is vibrant and diverse. From traditional markets like Molavi and Tehran’s Grand Bazaar to modern online stores, there are numerous options for purchasing this product. This article explores various aspects of buying and selling dried herbs in Tehran, including types, wholesale centers, prices, online purchasing methods, and hygiene tips. The goal is to provide a comprehensive guide for consumers, traders, and producers to navigate this market with full awareness.

 The Importance of Dried Herbs in Tehran’s Food Culture

Tehran, as a city that attracts migrants from across Iran, hosts a blend of traditional cuisines from the north, south, and central regions. Dried herbs are not only used in everyday dishes like *Ghormeh Sabzi*, *Aash Reshteh*, and *Kufteh Tabrizi* but also in pickles, salads, and even plant-based desserts. According to market reports, thousands of tons of dried herbs are produced and consumed annually in Tehran. This product, made by drying fresh herbs through traditional or industrial methods, retains vitamins A and C and minerals, with a shelf life of up to two years. In Tehran, given the heavy traffic and time constraints, dried herbs have gained popularity as an economical and quick alternative to fresh herbs. According to the Fruit and Vegetable Sellers’ Union, over 60% of herbs consumed in the capital are dried, rising to 80% during colder seasons.

Types of Dried vegetables Available in Tehran’s Market

Dried herbs in Tehran are divided into two main categories: single-ingredient and mixed. Single-ingredient types include mint, dill, parsley, tarragon, savory, fenugreek, basil, and leek. For example, dried mint is popular for tea, and tarragon is favored for northern-style salads. Mixed herbs are categorized based on specific dishes:
– Ghormeh Sabzi mix: A blend of parsley, coriander, fenugreek, and spinach (50-70 grams of dried mix equals 1 kg of fresh herbs).
– Aash mix: Includes spinach, coriander, dill, and mint.
-Kuku mix: Parsley, leek, coriander, and dill.
– Dolmeh mix: Tarragon, parsley, dill, and coriander for northern dishes.

In Tehran’s market, local herbs like *chochagh* and *khalvash* (from Gilan) are also available in dried form. Reputable producers dry these products industrially to preserve aroma and color. The key difference between homemade (shade-dried) and industrial (temperature-controlled) herbs lies in aroma quality; homemade herbs are more aromatic but pricier

Wholesale Centers and In-Person Purchasing in Tehran

As a trade hub, Tehran offers numerous centers for bulk dried herb purchases. The primary location is *Molavi Market*in southern Tehran, with over 200 specialized shops. Here, wholesalers from across the country offer bulk herbs at prices 20-30% lower than retail. Tehran’s **Grand Bazaar** (near Molavi Square) is another excellent option for bulk purchases, where northern traders sell aromatic Gilani herbs.

In addition to markets, factories and direct producer representatives play a key role:

Avoid buying unpackaged herbs without a health license, as they may be contaminated with pesticides. A simple test: soak in water; if no color bleeds, the quality is good.
