Ancient Persian Wellness Tradition
Nabat, or rock candy, has been a cornerstone of Persian medicine and culinary tradition for over 2,000 years. The practice of infusing rock candy with saffron emerged in ancient Persia as a way to preserve saffron's beneficial properties while creating a pleasant-tasting remedy.
In traditional Persian households, saffron crystals were often displayed in ornate containers, serving both as medicine and as a symbol of hospitality. The practice of offering saffron-infused rock candy to guests remains an important cultural tradition in Iran and throughout the Middle East.
Historical medical texts from the Islamic Golden Age, including works by Avicenna, frequently mentioned the therapeutic uses of saffron and rock candy combinations. This traditional wisdom has been passed down through generations, with modern scientific research now validating many of these historical applications.
