According to a local legend, the name (in translation from Persian — "Toasted wheat") originates from an accident where a load of wheat was left in the desert which was then scorched by the heat in a few days.
Prema lokalnoj legendi, ime (perzijski „pržena pšenica”) mu potječe iz nesreće u kojoj je tovar pšenice ostavljen u pustinji, da bi ga u nekoliko dana potpuno spalile vrućine.
