Macun (in Turkish also Macun şekeri) is a soft, sweet and colorful Turkish toffee paste.[1][2] It is a street food that may be prepared with many herbs and spices. Macun originated from spicy preparations of Mesir macunu,[3] a traditional Turkish herbal paste from the classical antiquity period. During classical antiquity, macun was consumed as a pharmaceutical medicine. It was historically served in a round tray with separate compartments for the various flavors, a serving style that has continued into modern times. The consumption of macun is a part of some Turkish customs.
