The Miracle Food
Unlike yogurt varieties sold in Western supermarkets, Persian yogurt, also known as “Persian milk,” is more than just food. It is a highly-valuable commodity with a wide variety of uses, due to a belief held by many Iranians that yogurt contains special medicinal properties.
Aside from food, yogurt is also used to treat ulcers, fight sleepiness, relieve sunburn, and even prolong life. Some Iranian women also use yogurt as a beauty product, carefully applying a mixture of yogurt, saffron, and honey to their faces as part of their daily skincare routine.
