👉 The term "mandorle" is a Latin word that refers to a small, roundish, and often brown-colored flower. It was originally used in ancient Mesopotamia as an edible plant, but it has since been widely cultivated as a culinary ingredient, particularly for its nutty flavor and crunchy texture. In contemporary use, mandorles are often associated with the Mediterranean region and are commonly found in souvenirs, decorations, and gourmet food items.
