There is so much that I love about Nowruz. From the menu of foods bursting with green herbs to jumping over a bonfire to kick off the holiday to gatherings with my extended Iranian family, it’s a joyful season and an important inflection point in the calendar.
Once your slate is clean, it’s time to feast. Since the holiday pays homage to sprouts and herbs, the Nowruz menu is overwhelmingly green. Traditional dishes for the first meal of the new year include rice with herbs, an herb omelet called kuku sabzi and a platter of fresh herbs served with bread and cheese.Ash eh-Reshteh, a soup of herbs, leafy greens, beans and long noodles, symbolizing the path of life, should be bubbling on the stove as the precise minute of the New Year chimes. Fish and eggs, evoking life and birth, are also part of the meal.
Then finally, after 13 days of eating, dancing and socializing, comes the dramatic sendoff to Nowruz, known as sizdah bedar or “thirteen outdoor.” On this sacred day, meant to be spent outside honoring the souls of beloved ancestors, take the sprouts that you have lovingly tended to and toss them into moving water. A river, a stream or the ocean will do. It’s a merciless parting with everything old and stale from the past year.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
