Mann El-Sama (From Heaven): The Most Famous Iraqi Dessert 🇮🇶

Описание: Mann El-Sama (From Heaven): The Most Famous Iraqi Dessert 🇮🇶

An Iraqi specialty, these candies go by the name mann El-sama which translates into manna from heaven.
If you ask any Iraqi, : ” Why are these called manna from heaven?” and the answer will be swift: “Because they come from the sky”.
Iraqis dessert maker say, the candy was scraped from leaves on the ground.

Here is the scoop on these heavenly candies:
Apparently, historians attribute it to the same manna mentioned in the Bible and in the Quran as food that God sent the people of Israel during their wanderings in the desert.

But where does it come from?

There are certain varieties of trees in Northern Iraq which give out sap after being punctured by insects. This sap falls off the tree, covering leaves on the ground; it is then scraped off the leaves, cleaned, boiled, and milled; flavored with cardamom, stuffed with nuts, and shaped into large chewy balls: Mann El-sama.



The candies we would get were carefully tucked in a cardboard box, wrapped in paper and tied with a burlap string; feverish hands would open the box releasing clouds of flour and the strong scent of cardamom; in the box, soft balls of taupe-colored marshmallow-like candy nudged side-by-side.
