Persian Wheat & Meat Porridge (Halim)

Premium Persian Wheat & Meat Porridge (Halim)

Experience one of Iran’s most cherished culinary traditions with our premium Persian Halim. Often spelled Haleem, this deeply comforting dish is a thick, slow-cooked porridge made from high-quality wheat berries and tender, finely shredded meat (traditionally turkey or lamb). Slow-simmered for hours until the grains and meat completely emulsify into a perfectly smooth, elastic, and velvety texture, it is a labor of love made effortless. Halim is the ultimate Persian breakfast staple, famously enjoyed on cozy weekend mornings, religious holidays, and to break the fast during Ramadan. It is traditionally served hot and customized at the table with a generous dusting of ground cinnamon, a sprinkle of sugar, and a swirl of melted butter or ghee.
