Bee & stipitatum

Bulbs of Allium stipitatum are eaten in Iran. They grow wild across the Zagros Mountains.Most of those eaten are harvested from the wild, sliced, dried, and sold at markets. Buyers will often soak the shallots for a number of days then boil them to obtain a milder flavour. They are often crushed and mixed with yogurt. Iranians enjoy yogurt in this way, especially in restaurants and kebab-saras where just kebabs are served
