It is akin to a hard toffee, being brittle and breaking into shards. It differs from the more ubiquitous confectionery from the city of Qom (sohān-e-Qomi) as it uses no wheat and much less butter and oil. This makes it less short and able to hold its structure, whereas sohān-e-Qomi can disintegrate into powder when pressed hard.
