Clothing

    Traditional Persian clothing can be seen in Persian miniature paintings, employ both vivid and muted colors for clothing, although the colors of paint pigment often do not match the colors of dyes.

    The clothing of ancient Iran took an advanced form, and the fabric and color of clothing became very important. Depending on the social status, eminence, climate of the region and the season, Persian clothing during the Achaemenian period took various forms. The philosophy used in Persian clothing was that, in addition to being functional, it also had to be of aesthetic value.

    Traditional Persian clothing, although seldom worn in urban areas in modern times, has been well preserved in texts and paintings throughout history.

Cuisine

    A typical breakfast consists of flatbreads smeared with butter, cheese, sarshir (thick cream often mixed with honey), and a variety of jams and spreads. Typical Iranian lunch and dinners will be a well-balanced mix of meat, beans, vegetables, herbs, dairy, nuts, and fruits served with rice or bread. The most common animal proteins are poultry, beef, lamb, and fish. Stew over rice is probably the most popular dish throughout the country, but soups, kebabs, and rice dishes are also staple meals.
