Gulkand (also written gulqand or gulkhand) is a sweet preserve of rose petals originating in the Indian subcontinent.

[1] The term is derived from Persian; gul (rose) and qand (sugar/sweet).

[4] It is prepared using special pink rose petals and is mixed with sugar.

Rose petals are slow-cooked with sugar, which reduces the juices into a thick consistency.

[5] Gulkand is used in the Unani system of medicine as a cooling tonic.
