GENERAL DATA
🍬Industries Which Use Persian Manna (Gaz of Khunsar – Astragalus brachycalyx)
Here’s a well-organized list of industries that commonly use Persian Manna, also known as Gaz of Khunsar, a naturally exuded sweet resin from wild-growing Astragalus species in Iran.
🌿 What Is Persian Manna (Gaz of Khunsar)?
Persian Manna is a naturally exuded substance from Astragalus brachycalyx subsp. brachycalyx, a leguminous shrub native to Iran’s Zagros mountains. It appears as a white to amber granular or flaky resin, sweet in taste and rich in polysaccharides, mucilage, and trace minerals.
It is NOT the gum from the stem (like Tragacanth), but rather a distinct sugary exudate, collected mainly from insect-induced secretion during hot summers. It has a long tradition in Persian sweets, herbal medicine, and is gaining attention in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical sectors.
