Galbanum

Galbanum is a fragrant gum resin that forms as a product of certain Persian plant species. Galbanum may vary in appearance and density, but it typically looks like translucent lumps of irregular hardness and color. The shade may vary from yellowish or light-brown to green and even dark green. The taste of galbanum is bitter and it smells somewhat musky, even though its green aroma usually dominates.
