RASHT DELECTABLES provides healthy and delicious foods!
South of the Caspian Sea lies the lush paradise of Gīlan Province. To most people around the world, Gīlan is associated with stunning images of rice fields, tea farms, and mountains, with its pristine nature and captivating forests.
The people of Gīlan are among the most cheerful and noble groups, who have preserved their beliefs and traditions for centuries. Their local music is influenced to a large extent by their surrounding environment and farming activities.
Aside from its nature, the capital city of Gīlan province, Rasht, is well-known for its cuisine, with its variety of food and delectable recipes. Rasht has received UNESCO’s recognition as one of the best places in the world for cookery, and has been named a “Creative City of Gastronomy” by UNESCO since 2015.
We grew up in Rasht, in the Gīlan region, when we were very young. Rasht Delectables was born from those childhood memories, and from our grandparents’ cooking — the rich flavor and nutrient-dense cuisine of Gīlan. Today, many years later, we recreate those recipes here in Canada, where we founded Rasht Delectables in 2020, using ingredients sourced and products made entirely in Canada.
Rasht Delectables features unique recipes, some based on generations-old family recipes, with the same authentic taste but made healthier by avoiding gluten and added sugar. All of our products are plant-based and Gluten-Free Certified.
We understand the importance of healthy, organic nutrition choices. We go to great lengths to ensure the highest-quality food products, made from wild-grown, hand-picked, organic ingredients.
All of our ingredients are sourced in Canada, and every product is made here — from wild-grown herbs to our small-batch dips and pastes. We bring the techniques and recipes of Gīlan’s food culture to Canadian-grown, Canadian-made products. Rasht Delectables Inc. is proudly Canadian, based in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Ontario.
NUTRITIOUS & DELICIOUS
Our first and primary product, the freshly produced marinated olives called WALNUT OLIVE, is an irresistible VEGAN and GLUTEN-FREE appetizer with its roots in Gīlan. This product is also LOW in CARBS and features two members of Team Good Fat — Walnut and Olive — both rich sources of good fats. This vegan dish can be served as a side dish or enjoyed as a healthy snack. It also works well as a colorful addition to a cheese platter, and pairs well with thin bread such as lavash or baguette slices, or with crackers.
