توت

Dried mulberries – called “toot (توت)” in Dari – are one of my favourite discoveries in Afghanistan. Most corner shops here sell them and they’re fantastic!

The weird thing is that, even though there’s loads of mulberry trees in Australia, and lots of different dried fruit (banana, mango, papaya, etc), i’ve never come across them there. I don’t believe they exist in Australia. Why not? They’re one of my favourite dried fruits of all time! And they’re really cheap in Kabul.
