Lavashak () is an Iranian sour and salty or sweet fruit leather, a thin, firm and dried layer of fruit puree or a mix of different fruit purees such as plums, apricots, or pomegranates.
Lavashak is an ancient Iranian snack that dates back thousands of years. For its preparation, a mass of cooked-down fruit is salted, pressed through a sieve, smoothed to a height of approximately two millimeters and dried until it has cooled down and is firm. Lavashak is available in Iranian cuisine in sweet, sour and sweet-sour varieties.
