Sorkhi

Sorkhi is a term that can refer to several things, most notably a type of red lentil and a village in Iran.

As a food item, sorkhi refers to small, red lentils. These are a popular staple in many cuisines, particularly in South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking. Red lentils are known for their quick cooking time and ability to break down easily, making them ideal for thickening soups, stews, and dahls. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and iron. The name "sorkhi" itself is derived from words meaning "red" in various Indo-Iranian languages.

In geography, Sorkhi is a village located in the Central District of Kashan County, Isfahan Province, Iran. It is situated in a rural area and, like many villages in the region, its economy likely depends on agriculture. Information about the specific population, history, or notable features of this particular Sorkhi village is not widely available in general English-language resources. However, its presence indicates the use of the name "Sorkhi" in place names within Iran. The broader context of the name suggests a connection to the color red, perhaps due to local soil color or historical significance.
