1. **Sabzeh** (سبزه) - Wheat, barley, or lentil sprouts growing in a dish, symbolizing rebirth and renewal.
2. **Samanu** (سمنو) - A sweet pudding made from wheat germ, representing affluence and fertility.
3. **Senjed** (سنجد) - Dried oleaster fruit, signifying love and compassion.
4. **Seer** (سیر) - Garlic, denoting medicine and health.
5. **Seeb** (سیب) - Apples, standing for beauty and health.
6. **Somāq** (سماق) - Sumac berries, representing the color of sunrise and the victory of good over evil.
7. **Serkeh** (سرکه) - Vinegar, symbolizing age and patience. 18 replies
