History :

History of Persian gaz

Persian Gaz is one of the most prominent sweets produced in Iran. The history of Isfahan’s Gaz is nearly 450 years old.

Since the beginning of history, this delicious sweet has undergone many changes. For example, during the First World War in 1293 AD when famine was raging in the country this was gradually removed from people’s tables or pistachios, and almonds were replaced by beans and cheaper plants due to their high prices.

There was a sweet in the past called Halva Chobe or Halva Chuh which was produced in Isfahan, Chaharmahal Bakhtiari, and Yazd.

This sweet is made from egg whites, sugar, and glucose syrup, and in the old days, it was sweet for serfs and upper classes. There is a legend that farmers used Halva Chobe as a snack.

Halva Chobe liquid is similar to this sweet and when egg whites, sugar, and glucose are mixed in copper bottles after about 2 hours a white mixture like this liquid is formed. It was the size of the palm of the hand.

Halva Chobe had a gummy texture and was not as soft as today’s pieces. When you bite a piece of it, you have to chew a bit like chewing gum to make it soft.

During the period of Shah Abbas and Isfahan becoming the capital, the ground was provided for the coming and going of tourists and travelers from other cities.

also the migration of rich people from other cities to Isfahan for business and the convenient location of the capital made the financial situation of the people much better.

This sweet is served with Persian tea, Sour cherry tea, and Gol gav zaban.

 Lowers blood sugar levels

This is another miraculous benefit of consuming pistachios regularly. Research suggests that it actually helps those who have type 2 diabetes! Pistachio is quite effective in regulating blood sugar levels as it is a rich source of phosphorous which helps break down the proteins so the latter can turn into amino acids. Regular consumption of pistachio helps with it. It keeps the blood sugar levels in check.
