Aajil Shirin - Shabeh Yalda Mobarak 

What is Aajil Shirin?


‘Aajil’ is a term used in Persian for a mixture of nuts, or a mixture of fruit and nuts. ‘Shirin’ means sweet. So Aajil Shirin is a sweet fruit and nuts mix.

It is eaten on many occasions, as part of the nibbles at a party or can be a great snack on trips and picnics. Iranians often have it at gatherings on special occasions, such as Shabeh Yalda (longest night of the year) or Nowrouz (new years day).
