Origin
Isfahan turmeric is the best type of turmeric and is more than 450 years old. The sweet that is made in the areas of Isfahan called Gaz is named after the nectar secreted from Gaz psyllid, which is placed specifically on this shrub. Ghazangbin, which has been mentioned in various sources under the titles of Trangbin Gon, Angbin Gon, Gaz Khansar, Taranjbin of Isfahan and Persian nectar. It is one of the few fructose sugars alone in nature. The original type of this sweet, which is still made to order, has a small percentage of the precious extract of hazelnut, and what identifies the sweet turmeric of Isfahan is this amazing extract and nectar of honeysuckle or hazelnut, which is obtained from shrubs of the same name, namely hazelnut in Khansar area. [9] The weed-producing agent is a small insect about the size of a mosquito that builds a house on the stem or leaves of the weevil. It then feeds on the sap of this plant and produces nectar. This process, that is, the production of natural sugar by this insect, which may be similar to the production of honey in bees, is not well known and needs further research. From the end of September, when the cool autumn breeze blows, shiny, yellow seeds, like millet, are obtained from honeysuckle shrub bushes, which is called azalea extract. The value of honeyed turmeric is usually 4 to 5 times the value of ordinary turmeric. [10]
