Golpar (Heracleum persicum), known in English as Persian hogweed, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the carrot family Apiaceae. It grows wild in humid mountainous regions in Iran and some adjacent areas. It was introduced to Scandinavia in the 1830s and is now very common in northern Norway, where one of its names is Tromsø palm. The plant has also been spotted in Sweden. In Finland, it has been declared as invasive species.
The seeds are used as a spice in Persian cooking. The very thin, small mericarps (seed-like fruits) are aromatic and slightly bitter. They are usually sold in powdered form and are often erroneously sold as "angelica seeds". It is used for stews, soups, mixed with vinegar to create dips, and added to advieh spice mixes.
