Torshi — Persian pickles — represent a preservation tradition as old as Persian civilisation itself. Every Iranian meal is accompanied by at least one torshi, and the range of Persian pickle preparations rivals the Japanese tsukemono system in its diversity. The Persian pickle tradition uses vinegar (sirke), salt, and sometimes fermentation to produce a complete condiment system.
