Gaz (Persian: گز‎‎) is the traditional name of a Persian nougat which originated from the Isfahan region.The name gaz is associated with gaz-angebin which translates to 'sap of angebin', in reference to a species of Tamarisk, T. gallica that is native to the Zagros mountain range located to the west of the Esfahan and Boldaji.The sweet, milky sap (gaz of Khunsar) found on the angebin plant is associated with manna, a food mentioned in the religious texts of the Abrahamic religions.
