About Kuku sabzi

Kuku Sabzi is a traditional Persian dish that blends eggs with a generous mix of fresh herbs, offering a flavorful and nutrient-packed option. Commonly featured on Persian New Year tables, or Nowruz celebrations, this frittata-like dish is made with parsley, cilantro, dill, chives, and spinach, along with turmeric and other spices for depth. Walnuts and barberries are often added for texture and tangy sweetness. Typically pan-fried in oil, Kuku Sabzi can also be baked for a lighter preparation. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from the herbs, this dish supports digestion and overall health. While the eggs provide protein, the dish may contain high cholesterol depending on serving size. Preparing it with minimal oil can help maintain its nutritious appeal. Kuku Sabzi showcases Persian culinary heritage while offering a healthy and aromatic addition to meals.
