Sahlab Salep Beverage Mekdar

History of Salep:

Salep is the old name for orchids farmed for their root tubers.  The powdered form of the orchid root known as Salep flour is frequently combined with water and drunk as a beverage. It has an ingredient that resembles mucus.

The Ancient Romans made drinks from ground orchid bulbs were known by a variety of names, most notably satyrion and priapiscus.

In the Ottoman Empire's territories, Salep was a widely consumed beverage. It was known for "fattening" young women up in order to make them plumper before marriage.  

 

Before the popularity of coffee and tea, its consumption extended to England and Germany. Later, it was made available at coffee shops as an alternative beverage. The beverage was referred to as Saloop in England. The Salep powder had to be mixed with water until it became thick before being sweetened and then flavoured with orange flower or rose water in England during the 17th and 18th centuries. In the 18th century, it was permissible to substitute British orchid roots, often known as "dogstones," for the native Turkish varieties.

 

Health Benefits:

People take Salep for a variety of ailments, including indigestion, heartburn, gas, diarrhea, and heartburn, but there isn't any solid scientific proof to back these claims.
