Overview
About Ajil-e Shoor (Salted)
This is the bowl you will find on every Iranian coffee table when guests arrive: ajil-e shoor, the salted mix. A traditional mix can bring together Kalleh Ghouchi pistachios, lemon-roasted almonds, roasted hazelnuts from Gilan, white pumpkin seeds, watermelon seeds and crunchy roasted chickpeas (nokhodchi).
Every ingredient is roasted separately — each has its own ideal time and temperature — then blended by hand in classic proportions. Pistachios lead, the seeds keep your hands busy, and the chickpeas add a light, toasty crunch.

Growing region
Rafsanjan, Kerman
The pistachio capital of Iran
Rafsanjan sits on a high, dry plain at roughly 1,500 m, where hot days, cold nights and mineral-rich soil push pistachio trees to concentrate oil and flavour in the kernel. Orchards here grow the four varieties Iran is known for — Akbari, Kalleh Ghouchi, Ahmad Aghaei and Fandoghi — and the town is home to Iran’s national Pistachio Research Institute.

What is in Persian ajil?
Salted ajil (ajil-e shoor) usually contains roasted pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts, roasted chickpeas, pumpkin seeds and watermelon seeds. Sweet ajil (ajil-e shirin) contains dried white mulberries, raisins, dried figs, noghl (sugared almond slivers), raw almonds and pistachios.
What is ajil-e moshkel-gosha?
Literally “problem-solving ajil”: a sweet mix traditionally made for Chaharshanbe Suri and shared with family and neighbours, in the belief that it helps wishes come true. It typically has seven ingredients.
