Celebrating Nowruz with Sadaf Foods and Ralphs: A Tradition of Culture and Renewal

As the Persian New Year, Nowruz (also known as Nowrooz, Norooz, and Nawruz) approaches, Sadaf Foods is proud to highlight our ongoing partnership with Ralphs Grocery. This collaboration, now in its fifth year, brings the vibrant tradition of the Persian Haft-Sin table to over 55 Ralphs locations. Our joint effort not only celebrates the arrival of spring but also shares the rich tapestry of Persian culture with a broader audience.

Nowruz: A Time for Renewal and Joy

Nowruz, marking the first day of spring and the renewal of nature, is a significant celebration for millions around the world. This cherished holiday, whose name translates to "new day," symbolizes rebirth, health, and prosperity. Central to the festivities is the Haft-Sin (or Haft-Seen) table, a display of seven symbolic items that all start with the letter 'S' in the Persian alphabet. These items include sabzeh (sprouts), symbolizing rebirth; sib (apples), representing beauty; serkeh (vinegar), denoting patience; sekkeh (coins), signifying wealth; sir (garlic), for health; somāq (sumac), representing the sunrise; and senjed (dried oleaster fruit), for love.

A Five-Year Journey of Cultural Celebration

Our partnership with Ralphs has flourished over the past five years, allowing us to share the beautiful tradition of Nowruz and the concept of the Haft-Sin table with a diverse audience. As an American company with Iranian roots, Sadaf Foods is dedicated to celebrating our Persian heritage. Through this collaboration, we are delighted to introduce the traditions, flavors, and joy of Nowruz to new communities, fostering a greater understanding and appreciation for Persian culture.

Savoring Nowruz Delicacies

Sabzi Polo ba Mahi, a dish of herbed rice served with fish, symbolizes abundance and prosperity. Kookoo Sabzi, an herb frittata, is eaten for good health and vitality, reflecting the greenery of spring. Another essential part of the Nowruz feast is Dolma, stuffed grape leaves that represent the filling of the earth with life. Desserts such as Baklava, laden with nuts and honey, and Sholezard, a saffron rice pudding, are enjoyed for sweetness in the new year.
