About Gheymeh

Gheymeh is a traditional Persian stew celebrated for its comforting flavors and hearty ingredients. Originating in Iran, this dish typically features tender pieces of lamb or beef, split yellow peas, dried lime (limoo amani), and a rich tomato-based sauce seasoned with turmeric, cinnamon, and other warming spices. It is often served over fragrant basmati rice and topped with crispy fried potato sticks. High in protein from the meat and split peas, Gheymeh provides essential nutrients like iron and potassium. The dried lime adds a unique citrus flavor and a dose of antioxidants. However, the dish’s fried potatoes and use of oil can increase its calorie content, so moderation is key for those monitoring their intake. Gheymeh exemplifies the bold and balanced flavors of Persian cuisine, delivering both nourishment and satisfaction.
