The Fahadan Old Town in Yazd boasts a deep-rooted culinary heritage influenced by its location on the Silk Road, where a blend of Persian, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian cuisines culminated. Traditional Yazdi dishes are known for their delicate spices, variety of stews, and the use of local ingredients like saffron and pomegranate. The arid climate of Yazd has also shaped its food culture, with an emphasis on preserving food through drying and pickling, yielding a rich array of side dishes and condiments.
