Fruit Market in Iran

Fruits are a key element of Iranian diet. While some fruits are supreme in Iran, they’re almost nonexistent in other countries. Everything from soil and growing conditions, to tradition and personal preference plays a major role in how popular a certain fruit becomes in each country. Iran is one of the most important exporters of fresh fruit and vegetables globally. Over the years some national fruits of Iran have made their way over from the fruit bowls of Asia and into the market stalls of European countries and beyond.
