The Philosophy of Fruit Leather in Iran:
The philosophy of fruit leather in Iran goes back to very ancient times. These snacks are made from fresh and sour fruits using traditional methods and are usually handmade.
Fruit leather is one of the traditional, popular, and well-liked snacks in Iran.
These snacks are made from sweet or sour fruits or a combination of both and have maintained their place in Iranian culture and cuisine throughout history.
How is fruit leather made?
In the past, women cooked and mashed fruits that were about to spoil to prevent waste and loss. The result was a runny but thick substance.
After this stage, a runny but thick substance was obtained, and then they waited for it to cool down.
Then they spread it out on large trays in a place where there was sunlight and fresh air to dry out the excess water.
At that time, the courtyard or the rooftops of houses were usually a suitable place for drying the contents of these trays.
While the contents of these trays were still soft, they could easily be separated from the tray and stored in a clean plastic bag in a dry and cool place.
The product was used as a healthy and delicious snack for parties and children.
The philosophy of making fruit leather has been practiced among people for more than 1000 years and is now booming.
Today, many fruit leather factories have been established, and now industrially produced fruit leathers are available in all stores.
What is the basis for naming fruit leather?
Fruit leather is actually a type of dried fruit that, while retaining the taste and properties of the original fruit, changes form due to the chemical changes that occur in it.
To make fruit leather, it is necessary to pour the cooked and mixed substances of several fruits into shallow dishes such as trays so that it is thin and can easily dry.
The shelf life of this type of dried fruit is very high and can be kept for up to a year.
