Renowned thin Koloocheh in Fuman prior to being cooked

Fuman (Persian: فومن‎‎, also Romanized as Fooman, Fūman, Fowman, Fowmen, and Fumen[1]) is a city in and the capital of Fuman County, Gilan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 27,763, in 7,728 families.[2]

Rice has been cultivated in this region for many years, where some indigenous cultivars (landrace) were conventionally bred by farmers.[3]

Fuman also produces persian cookies called Koloocheh. The Fuman Koloocheh is thinner and larger than its famous brethren, the Lahijan Koloocheh. While not as well publicized and mass produced as the Koloocheh from Lahijan, Fuman's Koloocheh is quite popular and tasty. To learn more about Koloocheh see Koloocheh_and_Masgati
