Manna(from the Holy Bible), is the bread that fell from the sky that's given to the Israelis by God when they are in the desert. It was after they escaped from Egypt and was led by Moses

also known as "bread from heaven""'Manna' still occurs in the desert. Insects which live on the feathery tamarisk trees in the Sinai area suck the sap of the tree. Then they exude drops of a sweet, resinous secretion, varying in size from a pinhead to a pea. These stick on the ground and evaporate into white, frost-like particles before turning yellowish brown. They taste like solidified honey. Modern Bedouin gather the manna early in the day, before ants - possibly the 'maggots' of The Bible - become active and eat it. They seal it up in pots, away from the ants, kneading it later into a paste which is a nourishing addition to their everyday diet.

"Depending on favorable conditions it is possible for one man to gather four pounds of manna in a morning. As early as the 15th century AD monks and Arabs in Sinai gathered manna soon after daybreak in order to sell it...
