'Manna' in the Bible

The house of Israel named the substance manna. It resembled coriander seed, was white, and tasted like wafers made with honey.

Moses told Aaron, “Take a container and put two quarts of manna in it. Then place it before the Lord to be preserved throughout your generations.”

The Israelites ate manna for 40 years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate manna until they reached the border of the land of Canaan.
