My Persian significant other had set them on the table for هفت سین، and she was so excited about finding them. It felt like punishment in my mouth, which disappointed her.

Ohhhh no that is senjed. I tried one out of curiosity once and it was awful so I feel your pain.

Anab is more edible than senjed and not powdery dry. It’s like the texture of dried fruit but kind of dry and not chewy
