wedding gift contents

[Guest guest]

A friend of mine sent this post. I do not know what the contents

are, or if they have any significance. If someone can fill-in-the

blanks, that would be wonderful.

 

"Sammy and I recently attended an Indian wedding. At the reception,

they handed out a small gift to all the women. I asked what it ment,

and they said it was just a gift. It is a small round silver

container, a little larger than a pill box.

 

The part I am wondering about is the contents. It filled with tiny

1/8" cubes of sugar (almost looks like rock salt, but I tasted it,

and it is sugar) It also contains some 1/4" x 1/8" green seed pods.

The seed pods are filled with little tiny black seeds. It smells very

sweet.

 

Can you take a guess at what the spice is and let me know if there is

any symbology? I am just curious. I searched the internet and found

plenty about the wedding ceremony but found nothing about traditional

gifts."
