 Nowruz is the Haft-Seen table, which is adorned with seven symbolic items, all starting with the Persian letter "seen" (س). These items often include sprouts (sabzeh) symbolizing rebirth, apples (seeb) for beauty and health, garlic (sir) for medicine, vinegar (serkeh) for patience, sumac (somaq) for the sunrise, dried fruit (senjed) for love, and wheat or barley pudding (samanu) for affluence.
