Pashmak (Persian: پشمک) is a form of Iranian candy floss or cotton candy, made from sugar. Pashmak is served on its own or as an accompaniment to fruits, cakes, ice creams, puddings and desserts. It is widely known as Persian Cotton Candy.[1] It is sometimes garnished with ground pistachio nuts. Although the texture is similar to cotton candy, both method and ingredients are different.

Пашмак (перс. پشمک‎) представляет собой разновидность иранской сахарной ваты или пишмание, сделанной из сахара. Пашмак подаётся отдельно или как дополнение к фруктам, тортам, мороженому, пудингам и десертам. Он широко известен как персидская сахарная вата[1]. Иногда его украшают молотыми фисташками. Хотя текстура похожа на сахарную вату, метод и ингредиенты разные.
