Mardin Ghost Blue Almond Candy

Mardin Ghost Blue Almond Candy

The next gift you can get for yourself and your loved ones from Mardin is the unique blue almond candy exclusive to Mardin. The blue color of Mardin almond candy comes from a natural dye obtained from the roots of the Lahore tree, which is unique to the Mardin region. This dye is known for its ability to heal thrush in babies' mouths. The almonds are coated using an enlargement method by dipping them into a syrup made from sugar solution. This process is done specifically in shaking tubs or cauldrons. The enlarged almonds are then whitened with starch and sugar before being dried. This process is repeated several times. Finally, the almonds are polished by dipping them alternately in cold and hot syrup and then dried in a drying cabinet or oven.
