Ice cream in Iran: faloodeh

Traditional Iranian ice cream is called faloodeh, and that is not the one that we are used to. This cold dessert is made of starch or rice flour. It looks like noodles with sauce. The preparation process is quite interesting. Thin noodles from starch or rice flour are made by a special machine, then are left to cool in cold water. At last, ice cream is filled with sugar or lemon syrup, rose water, pistachios and ice crumbs. Iranians adore faloodeh, and tourists try it as a popular Iranian food. Its sugary sweet taste is quite specific, and probably not everyone will like it.

By the way, faloodeh is one of the first known varieties of ice cream, and it appeared in the V century BC. The ice for faloodeh was brought in ancient times from the mountains and was stored in the ancient prototypes of the refrigerator – yakchalas.

Ice cream in Iran: saffron ice cream

The spice gives the dessert a yellow color.
