Dried fruits lay on a separate table in large drinking bowls - the best ones are those that dry in the sun, blown by the mountain wind, here you are not smog of streets, not building dust, not the heat of a stove, everything is natural. And that means useful! The most delicious and healthy is homemade and not industrial with all kinds of chemistry, preservatives, food additives and food dyes.
Then look, yellow dried grapes, useful for the lungs, bronchi, then you and dried apricots, as with the seeds inside, and peeled without them. Immediately, the hashtak is dried apricot, and inside it there are five raisins of yellow grapes, a drop of mountain honey, a piece of walnut. So he translates from Farsi - eight! Really eight parts!
So you go to the mountains, sometimes there is no strength, he threw a couple of hashtak things into his mouth and that energy and strength appeared again. Washed down from a flask of our mountain water, clean, spring water and life becomes more fun. What have you lost in these polluted and dusty cities? What is interesting there? Dust construction sites, hubbub, vanity vanities and most importantly, there is no great sense for health!

But the dried mulberry, and here is the flour from it.
We mountaineers often use dried mulberry flour, add to soups, to bread. As we do this, I will tell you - crushed dried mulberries (mulberries) in a stone mortar, sift through a sieve and put in the sun. Contained in the composition of this Olecran sugar melts and forms a sticky ma.s.s.

By the way, we here thought everything in the village, maybe you can sell our bekmes, Irchaly?
You eat all the city jams and jams, and this is the naga traditional sweets:
"Beckmes" is boiled condensed juice of fruits, berries or vegetables. Natural sweetness in the Central Asian region since ancient times. There are two kinds of the first dried in the sun, the second boiled on the fire.
The recipe is very simple, you take berries, fruits or vegetables, squeeze the juice out of them and boil it in a saucepan until thick. It turns out very tasty, though all products must be ripe.
Irchal is very simple, prepare bekmes after adding berries in relation to the weight of one to one beckmes, boil down to a state of thickening.
It goes well as a filling for wrapping in pita bread or additive in cereals.
All these oriental recipes like Irchal, Bekmes were necessary as a means of processing and storing large quant.i.ties of fruits, berries and vegetables. Yes, and in those days, the sand or sugar lump, was very expensive. He was brought in caravans from India and Russia. Up until the early 50s of the last century, sugar was considered an expensive treat on the tables in Central Asia. So local people made themselves sweets from fruits and their processing, creating bekmesy, Irchaly and other sweets.
By the way, you can also sell sumalak. Sumalak. Traditional festive dish in the countries of the Front and Central Asia. Widespread in Persia. Usually it is prepared for the holiday "Navruz" new year, March 21. The recipe is also quite simple, although of course and time consuming. Germinated wheat, wheat flour, walnuts, cottonseed oil are required. The very process of making sumalak - grind sprouted wheat, strain, pour water. In a cauldron, bring the b.u.t.ter to a boil, put the flour and the germinated wheat, the mixture will begin to thicken. Put after this two dozen stones or walnuts in the sh.e.l.l, this is done in order to sumalak not burnt. Add water and boil until thickened. When the mixture is ready, remove from heat and allow to walk under the hood for a long time. The whole cooking process takes from 20 to 24 hours. Usually prepared by the community or groups of people in shopping districts.
Wow, Grandma Makhtab, and we just wanted to cook sumalyak from Aunt Firuzeh from March 20 to March 21! Interesting idea! Maybe we will sell? We need to see how the market responds! Organic food on the other hand! All in the concept of a healthy way of eating!

Grandfather Kamol noticed, well, for example, I made the first batch of yanta sugar, then I looked in reference books, I asked my colleagues, the exact properties of it have not been studied until now. Therefore, we can only rely on the doctor of the 15th century Amasiatsi, he just describes the method of cooking sugar and talks about its benefits.
Look, I wrote down:
Amber sugar - a yellowish sticky liquid appears on the leaves of a camel thorn (yantak) on the leaves, in the evening it solidifies and turns into small grains. Gather amber manna in late August - early September. Syrup is boiled from the manna, and this must be done early in the morning so that the manna does not melt. Amber syrup has healing properties - (A. Amasiatsy 15 in. AD), it clears and softens the throat and lungs, and also helps with coughing, easily dissolves yellow bile and quenches thirst.
To use in the form of syrup. Yantak sugar, a cook, should be prepared as follows: "Manna, cleaned from litter, then put in a pot, poured with a small amount of water, put on fire. In another bowl, boil carrots, quince sliced into small strips, pour in dissolved amber sugar, continue to cook until done. The finished syrup acquires a dark pink color, and the carrots and quince in it do not float to the surface and are evenly distributed in the syrup. Before readiness, a vanilla pod or 3-4 stamens of saffron are added to the syrup it was used in Central Asia since the 9th – 10th centuries AD.
Carrot jam with honey strengthens intestines and digestion. A sweet almond with crystalline sugar is useful for ulcers in the intestines and bladder, pleurisy, strengthens eyesight, throat. The negative properties of almonds are hard and difficult to digest in a cold stomach, harmful to the intestines, corrects these properties - mastic. Almond jam is highly nutritious, very beneficial for the kidneys. If you brush your teeth with honey 3-4 times a week for a month, then the teeth are cleaned, make them white (From ancient Persian medicine 3-11 c. AD).
Honey, ghee and peeled pumpkin seeds. For its preparation it is necessary: melt the melted b.u.t.ter, pour in the liquid mountain honey + crushed and peeled pumpkin seeds, carefully beat until a h.o.m.ogeneous ma.s.s is formed. Products: 300 grams of honey, 500 grams of oil, 200 grams of pumpkin seeds. This recipe was used to maintain strength and in the treatment of the lungs in the 40s and 50s of the last century.
By the way, this Amasiatsi said that he was Avicenna's spiritual student... and now he made an amazing reference book on healing products, I wrote out something here.

Pumpkin is indicated for diseases of the kidneys, liver, edema of renal and cardiac origin, for disorders. The squash pulp of pumpkin fruit has an anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effect, therefore it is applied to burns, wounds, ulcerative lesions of the skin. Pumpkin is considered a powerful tool for cleansing the entire body.
