Urgut UZ - Bazar Lump sugar Nawat, Parwarda and Noodles

            Urgut is a town in the Samarqand Region of Uzbekistan and the capital of Urgut District. It is known for the grove of plane trees, some of which are more than 1000 years old. Urgut is located in mountainous areas.

Urgutlik (also known as Urguti in Tajik) people are a subgroup of ethnic Uzbeks who track their ancestry to people from a town of Urgut. There are almost 500,000 people who describe themselves as Urgutlik. Urgutlik people frequently use Tajik words in their daily conversation. Majority of the population speak Tajik and Uzbek.

Urguti people are heavily involved in basic mercantile trading in their respective locations and in farming. In the town craftsmanship is also well-known which has been maintained traditionally throughout the centuries.

Urgut's biggest market with varied and relatively inexpensive merchandise attracts folks even from Samarkand, the capital of the Region.

Nawat is a traditional Uzbek crystallized sugar that is served with tea, sometimes instead of regular sugar or caramel. Nawat is made from concentrated sugar syrup or grape juice with the addition of certain spices. Hot syrup is poured into large boilers, in which the threads are stretched horizontally, around which the sugar crystallizes. Nawat has different shades: from whitish to light yellow and dark brown. It can be added to tea or enjoyed in the mouth, like a candy. Nawat, consists of pure glucose and fructose and has a number of health benefits. People use it as lozenges for cough and sore throat, drink with green tea as a folk remedy for many diseases. Nawat has a warming effect, gives strength and energy, is useful in hypothermia and colds.

Parwarda (national Uzbek caramel) - traditional Uzbek sweets in the form of a white small pillow, sprinkled with flour. Parwarda contains only sugar, flour, lemon juice or citric acid. First, the sugar is boiled with a caramel mass, then white candies are formed and these are rolled into flour. The procedure is quite time-consuming (below you can watch the video: how to prepare parwarda).In Parwarda, sometimes herbal additives or spices are added, which give the sweets not only delicate colors and refined flavors, but also healing properties.
