Serviceberries (Sinjit / Senjed) – Traditional Delight

The serviceberry, known in Persian as sinjit or senjed, is the dried fruit of the oleaster tree (Elaeagnus angustifolia). This fine delicacy is characterized by its distinctive mealy, pleasantly soft texture and its subtly sweet and aromatic flavor. Serviceberries hold a prominent place in Persian, Afghan, and Central Asian cuisine. Sairas offers you these authentic fruits in a generous 1 kg package, guaranteeing the highest quality and pure enjoyment.

Culinary profile and tradition

As one of the most fascinating Persian specialties, serviceberries impress with their subtle yet profound aroma. Unlike many other dried fruits, they are not overly sweet, but rather boast a mild, velvety flavor. The gentle drying process preserves the fruit's original character, making it an ideal, natural snack for lovers of oriental cuisine.

Uses & Recipes

Traditionally, serviceberries are served plain as an accompaniment to freshly brewed black tea. Senjed takes on particular cultural significance during the Persian New Year, Nowruz : the fruit is an indispensable element on the ceremonial Haft Sin table and traditionally symbolizes love and affection.

But even outside of celebrations, sinjit berries are versatile in the kitchen. Lightly crushed, they make a sophisticated ingredient for desserts, baked goods, or an aromatic addition to your morning muesli and porridge. Combine them with almonds, walnuts, and pistachios to create an authentic oriental nut mix.
