Besides different cuisines and dishes, each city in Iran has its own desserts
and sweets which are in complete harmony with the climate and the herbs of that area. You might not have enough time for tasting all Iranian sweets
but I believe that you shouldn’t leave Iran before having Gaz and Sohan, which
are the two tasty sweets of Isfahan:
Gaz:
Made with
the sap of Angabin, which is a herb only found around Isfahan, Gaz is the most popular
sweet in this city. The Angabin sap is added with rosewater, egg whites,
pistachios and almond. Certainly, the higher the percent of pistachio and
almond, the more delicious the Gaz! Pieces of Gaz are placed in a box of white flour and
it is a real pleasure to hunt the pieces of delicious Gaz!

Sohan:
Sohan is
made with wheat sprout, eggs, rosewater, sugar, butter cardamom and topped with pistachio. Sohan has a pleasant buttery and crunchy texture that makes
it very hard to resist!
Both Sohan
and Gaz are usually served with a well brewed Persian tea in warm Iranian
gatherings and parties.
