Types of Iranian Barberry

Iranian barberry comes in various types, but Daneh Anari and Pofaki varieties being particularly popular. The process of harvesting Daneh Anari barberry often results in some berries becoming damaged due to the impact. These berries are typically sun-dried, resulting in a slightly darker, brown-colored appearance. Pofaki barberry, harvested by hand, is more time-consuming but preserves the integrity of the berries, resulting in higher quality compared to seeded barberry. Its color is bright red, and usually it is not sun-dried.
