Pastegh (Pestil) is a traditional Armenian fruit leather, also known as “sour lavash.”

It is made from ripe fruits and berry puree and is distinguished by its natural taste and simple ingredients.

This thin and flexible fruit sheet often has a sour flavor, since it is traditionally made from cornelian cherry, plum, cherry, apple, and other sour fruits.

However, pastegh can also be prepared from mulberries, apricots, peaches, blackberries, raspberries, and pears, resulting in a sweeter and milder taste.

The main feature of pastegh is that no sugar or starch is used during its preparation.

It is made only from fruit puree, a small amount of water, and the natural warmth of the sun.

For centuries, pastegh has been an important part of Armenian cuisine, preserving the natural taste and beneficial properties of fruits.
