Manna Overview
Manna refers to a natural substance that has been historically harvested from various species of flowering ash trees (genus Fraxinus) or produced by certain insects feeding on these trees. It's recognized for its sweet taste and was mentioned in ancient texts as a food source. While historical accounts and cultural references have attributed diverse properties to manna, it's important to note that the term can refer to different substances depending on the context, including plant sap, insect secretions, or symbolic references in religious or mythological narratives.
