Jordan Market

There are certain things you just can’t find at other grocery stores, like really good basmati rice, homemade quince jam, cardamom tea, and lavashak (basically a sour, sticky, totally perfect fruit roll-up). So if you want to stock up on authentic Persian goods, head to this market. And be adventurous with your choices. Cooking Persian food isn’t all that hard anymore, since many of the ingredients can now be purchased pre-cooked or frozen. You can buy frozen fried onion and eggplant, along with many of the other components of Persian stews. Pull up a recipe and try cooking a stew for your friends.
