But we have something special for you than just what you know from world streets and confectioneries. Mersu balls!
Sweetness from two ingredients
There are several things strange about Mers. On the one hand, it is prepared only from two ingredients… and it is also a sweetness that the old Babylonians have already grinded. According to archaeologists, this is confirmed by clay plates from 1750 BC, where there was a long mention of Mersa. “One of the Mersu raw materials is the dates that were of great importance for this old culture,” says the historian, continues: “The dates were associated with dumuzide fertility.
Luxury dessert for the chosen
Although many cultures usually eat sweets independently – as a dessert or dessert for tea or coffee – the old Babylonians combined their diet in various ways. “They were used to linking different taste experiences, so they had a main meal of grain and the Mersa balls. It was so normal and no one found it strange,” explains the historian, adding that the date delicacy of Mersa was a decoration of religious ceremonies and royal feasts. And the only ones who could produce it were professional confectioners.
Mersu
Today, the Mersa has long been popular… If you visit Iraq, you can meet with date-to-aruse balls in sweets stores. And believe it is a huge experience! If you don’t want to, you can prepare Mersa at home. Here’s a simple recipe of how to do it: Prepare a 1 cup of pitted dates and a ¾ cup of pistachios (if you don’t have, you can use other nuts, such as almonds or walnuts). Soak the date in warm water for 10 minutes to soften. Meanwhile, mix the pistachios so that they have the consistency of the breadcrumbs. Do you have?
And now just taste …
Then put the dates in the mortar, add half the hazel pulp and crush them with a mortar and mix into a uniform mass. Then model the balls and wrap it in the rest of the crushed pistachios. Done. Your domestic Mersa is the world!
