Discover Iran’s premium organic oleaster berries – sun-dried, packed with nutrients, and sustainably wild-harvested. Perfect for functional foods and traditional remedies.

Azil Organic Oleaster

Introduction to Oleaster (Elaeagnus angustifolia)

Known locally as “Senjed,” Iranian organic oleaster berries grow wild in arid regions, developing a unique sweet-tart flavor when sun-dried. These small, olive-like fruits have been used in Persian medicine for centuries. Our wild-harvested oleaster contains 40% more antioxidants than blueberries, making it a rising star in global superfood markets.
