Reshteh value chain in Tehran Province
Processing wheat into reshteh (ash, polo, soup and egg noodles) is tightly linked to household diets. Tehran combines population density, large food-processing infrastructure, holding HQs and national staple distribution.
The province hosts fully automated plants, traditional workshops, specialist packers, reference wholesale markets and export desks for grain-based products.
Technical product taxonomy
| Product | Process / trait | Quality marker |
|---|---|---|
| Ash reshteh | Wheat flour, salt, tunnel drying under 12% moisture | Structural integrity in boiling, low starch release |
| Reshteh polo | Thin cut, controlled toasting stage | Caramel colour, no stickiness with rice |
| Soup vermicelli | Sub-1 mm diameter, semolina or high-gluten flour | Fast hydration, short soup cook time |
| Traditional reshteh | High-bran flour, natural drying rooms | Full wheat flavour, heterogeneous texture |
| Egg reshteh | Albumin and yolk in dough | High elasticity, higher protein |
Industrial reshteh production flow
Kneading & rolling
Continuous kneading removes air; dough sheets pass through reducing rollers.
Cutting & drying
Strands are cut and tunnel-dried below 12% moisture.
Polo toasting
Reshteh polo is toasted in hot-air ovens to a caramel colour.
Packaging
Flow-wrap, master cartons and auto weighing on Safadasht and Karaj lines.

International trade
Tehran-made reshteh ships to the Gulf, Europe, North America and neighbours (Iraq, Afghanistan, Central Asia). Ansi, Zar Macaron and Roshd lead exports; industrial flour price volatility squeezes margins.
Strategic outlook
Shift to continuous automated lines, dual demand for uniform industrial and whole-wheat traditional reshteh, and convergence of suburban plants with Molavi and Anbar Naft wholesale define the market.
