UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2025 URL: https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/02336 Description : Sumanak is a special dish traditionally prepared during the Navruz festival. It is made from sprouted wheat, butter and flour, symbolizing the awakening of nature and rebirth. The wheat sprouts, called ‘sabza’, represent new life in spring. The process involves washing, roasting and crushing the wheat, and then boiling the juice for up to ten hours. There are several types of sumanak, each with slight variations in terms of their preparation. The making of sumanak is a communal activity, usually carried out by a group of women who take turns stirring the pot while singing traditional songs and dancing.
