Persian Dried Barberries Types

Persa Trading supplies two types of barberries, puffy barberries, and Pomegranate seed-like barberries.

Pomegranate seed-like barberries (Daneh Anari Zereshk)

The farmers harvest this type of barberry in the early days of the season so that they distribute barberry seeds from the branches and spread them on large surfaces. This method of drying is performed simultaneously with harvesting.

Puffy barberries (Pofaki Zereshk)

Due to the timely production process, puffy barberry (Pofaki Zereshk) is marketed about three to six months after the first harvest of barberry. In the drying method of this type of barberry, the workers cut the barberry from the shrub’s branch and don’t separate the barberry seeds from the branch. The branches are then taken to closed halls, where they hang like raisins or pile as much as possible in bulk.

Barberry health benefits

Barberry has been shown to stimulate the immune system by activating the macrophages that devour harmful micro-organisms. It is naturally antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal. The berries of the Barberry are naturally diuretic and high in vitamin C. The diuretic action allows the body to flush out bacteria, while the vitamin C content supports and boosts the immune system to fight off infection.
