rahbarns

Rahbarns are a type of traditional Persian confectionery, originating from the city of Isfahan in Iran. They are small, round, and typically made from a mixture of sugar, water, and rosewater, which is then boiled and poured into molds. The resulting sweet is then allowed to cool and harden. Rahbarns are often flavored with rosewater, giving them a distinctive floral scent and taste. They are a popular treat during the Persian New Year (Nowruz) and other festive occasions. Rahbarns are also known by other names such as "rosh-e-badam" or "rosh-e-shirin," which translates to "sweet head" in Persian. The name "rahbarn" is derived from the Persian word "rahbar," which means "leader" or "guide," reflecting the sweet's role as a guide to the sweetness of the Persian cuisine. Rahbarns are typically served as a dessert or a snack, often accompanied by tea. They are also used as a topping for other desserts, such as rice pudding or semolina pudding. Rahbarns are a staple in Persian cuisine and are enjoyed by people around the world for their unique flavor and texture.
