The broth has a high calorie, contains a decent amount of Omega 3 and has enough fibre and vitamins for the body.
The broth also known as Shoorba or Piti is one of the traditional Iranian foods. As it takes a rather long time to cook, the broth is specifically cooked in urban or rural areas and is a heritage of Iranians’ descendants.
In the past, broths would be cooked in a dish called Dizi. The Dizi makes it possible for the broth to be cooked through gradually over a long period of time, and, hence, the food will take on a good taste and flavor.
There are different types of broth. Different kinds of broths are cooked differently in different cities. The quince and walnut broth is one of the traditional broths of Marzaki province.
