About Persipan
Persipan is a sweet almond-paste-like confection made chiefly from ground apricot kernels, sometimes with almonds, sugar, and other ingredients. It is used in baking and confectionery as a filling, covering, or molded component. Its pale, dense paste is smooth when finely ground and has a sweet, nutty, sometimes subtly bitter flavour.
It is sold as a ready-made paste or as confectionery incorporated into baked goods. Recipes and commercial formulations differ in the proportions of kernels, almonds, sugar, and moisture, so the name does not imply one fixed composition. It is distinct from marzipan, though the two are used in similar ways. The paste can be firm or pliable depending on its formulation.

Representative benchmark from a comparable official food-composition category; it is not a laboratory measurement of this exact ingredient. The displayed reference form must be considered, and species, cultivar, recipe, brand, processing and preparation can change values.
Nutrition comparisons depend on the proportions of apricot kernels, almonds, sugar, and added moisture in the paste. A finished confection containing persipan is not equivalent to plain persipan paste.
