Sholeh Zard is a delicate and aromatic Persian rice pudding made with rice, sugar, saffron, rosewater, and topped with cinnamon, slivered almonds, and pistachios. Cooked slowly until silky, this golden dessert is traditionally prepared for religious ceremonies, festivals, and charitable offerings. Its name translates to “yellow flame” in Persian, referencing its rich color from high-quality saffron. Originating from Shiraz and widely enjoyed across central and southern Iran, Sholeh Zard is served chilled and often decorated with intricate cinnamon patterns and nuts.
