Lavashak (Persian: لواشک) is the Persian name for sour and salty fruit leather, a thin, firm and dried plate of pure or mixed fruit puree such as plums, apricots, or pomegranates. The mass of overcooked 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.[1] Lavashak is also available in Persian cuisine in sweet, sour and sweet-sour varieties.
From a nutritional perspective, lavashak is an extract from various fruits. For generations, lavashak has been prepared in the traditional way at home. It is now industrially manufactured.
