Inspired by Iran’s sohan-e Qom—a traditional treat once served in royal courts of Qom during the Qajar Dynasty—this brittle is made by cooking butter, sugar and wheat sprout flour down to a rich syrup. Confectioners will generously mix in whole pistachios, aromatic cardamom and vibrant saffron. Landing somewhere between the texture of snappy toffee and buttery shortbread, the brittle offers a balanced sweetness, as the creamy butter and earthy pistachios mingle with the bright, floral notes of the spices. Two 6.76-inch disks of brittle are packaged in a reusable pink tin decorated—both inside and out—with Persian flower and butterfly illustrations by Iranian artist Hamid Rahmanian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNet Weight: \u003c\/b\u003e8 ounces\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e6.75 inches (diameter)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIngredients: \u003c\/b\u003eUnsalted Butter (Sweet Cream and Milk), Sugar, Bleached Enriched Flour (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Pistachio (Tree Nut), Wheat Sprouts, Egg, Cardamom, Saffron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllergens: \u003c\/b\u003eWheat, egg, milk and tree nuts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlace of Origin: \u003c\/b\u003eUnited States\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCare: \u003c\/b\u003eStore in a cool, dry place.

Legend suggests the brittle was created to celebrate a major national milestone: The grand unveiling of a new courtyard at the Shrine of Fatima Masumeh in Qom. To honor the occasion, local bakers served the brittle to Persian king Naser al-Din Shah Qajar following a massive royal banquet. Amused by its digestive properties, the monarch jokingly remarked the brittle cut through his heavy meal like a sohan (a metal file), thus giving the confection its name.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct SEO\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTitle: Persian Pistachio Brittle | Milk Street Store\u003cbr\u003eDescription: Persian brittle made with saffron, cardamom and whole pistachios and packed in a tin with floral artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pajama Sweets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46392303878201,"sku":"MSPSBRITTLE05","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0099\/5868\/6777\/files\/persian-pistachio-brittle-pajama-sweets-819643.jpg?v=1787772092","url":"https:\/\/store.177milkstreet.com\/products\/persian-pistachio-brittle","provider":"Milk Street Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
