What plant is golpar from?

Golpar comes from the dried seeds of Heracleum persicum — Persian hogweed — native to the mountains of northern Iran. It is distinct from related Heracleum species elsewhere, some of which are skin-irritating.

What does golpar taste like?

Warm, slightly piney, citrusy, with a soft bitter edge. A little goes a long way — small pinches, not heavy dustings.

Is golpar safe daily?

Yes in culinary pinches. Avoid large amounts on skin in sunlight (the coumarins can cause photosensitivity), and skip medicinal extracts in pregnancy.
