Narjes Rahmati :

"Do you know what these are?
I took that picture in my mom's garden today.

In Iran they are called "ghooreh", unripe grapes. You can use them fresh, pickle them or juice them. We add them to our dishes and use the juice for Shirazi salad. We use the leaves to make "dolmeh"

Persian dolmeh are very yummy because they are full of aromatic herbs like basil and tarragon."
