Pannag: an unknown food product or grain, possibly confections or special cakes
This enigmatic word appears once in Ezekiel 27:17, in the list of goods Judah and Israel traded with Tyre. It's mentioned alongside wheat from Minnith, honey, oil, and balm—all food products. Ancient versions guessed at its meaning, and modern scholars remain uncertain. Some suggest it was a type of confection or specialty grain product. The Spanish preserves the Hebrew term transliterated (pannag), acknowledging the uncertainty. What's clear is that it was something valuable enough to list among Tyre's important imports, presumably something delicious or luxurious that wealthy Phoenicians desired.

Senses
1. sense 1 An unknown food product mentioned in Ezekiel 27:17 among the trade goods Judah and Israel supplied to Tyre. Listed with wheat, honey, oil, and balm, it was presumably edible and valuable—perhaps confections, special cakes, or a grain preparation. The uncertainty of its identification hasn't stopped translators from attempting renderings like 'confections,' though many simply transliterate the Hebrew. Whatever pannag was, it represented something desirable enough to be worth international trade.
