Manna - What is it?

31  And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.   (Old Testament | Exodus 16:31) 



Here is a photo of coriander seed.


Here is a video about what Manna might have been.  It is very likely that manna is still growing in the desert there.  We still have the Sea Gulls in Salt Lake City.

nowheretorun1984 September 16, 2008 — In this 9 min video I make a case that the Manna spoken of in the Bible may be the Terfezia and Tirmania Desert Truffles of the Middle east region.

here are some factors I considered
  • Sustenance capability
  • Geography
  • habitat
  • it is said that manna was white and tasted like wafers in honey.
  • Numbers 11:7 adds that manna was like coriander seed, the color of bdellium,
  • Numbers 11:8 adds that it could be ground, pounded, boiled and made into cakes.
  • Timing of Manna Fall
  • Appeared overnight in the morning
  • It becomes infested with maggots when left out,
  • It melts in the sun
  • It is Small and round
  • And it appears suddenly, without seed or root.
