Pestil is a traditional dried fruit pulp that is commonly produced in Anatolia and Armenia. It is known under different names such as bastegh or pastegh (), '''t'tu lavash (), bestil, and fruit leather'.
Fruit leather is made from mechanically pulverizing fruit, then spreading it out to dry into a tough, yet flexible and edible material which can be kept preserved for several months in an airtight container. It is a popular dessert in Armenia and Turkey.
