To The Health Conscious:

Afghan cuisine is a collection of authentic traditional recipes, a blend of tastes which are exotic. Afghanistan is a land-locked country, and cooks rely on meats, freshwater fish, vegetables, dried peas, beans, fresh fruits, yogurt, noodles, rice, and a distinctive palette of seasonings. 

Rice plays a very important part in Afghan cooking, and Afghans are very particular about the grain of rice they choose for different purposes. The best quality rice in Afghanistan is grown in the south of Afghanistan, in the province of Laghman. The Aahu Barah rice is perhaps the finest quality rice available.
