Turkmen national cuisine is an integral part of the cultural heritage of our people. Today, many Turkmen people strive to celebrate the festive desterhan in accordance with traditions.
Fairs and bazaars throughout the country help create a rich New Year's table, decorated with national dishes and delicious treats.
The counters are full of a wide range of fruits. As astrologers advise, in order to appease the symbol of the coming 2024 - the Green Wooden Dragon, you should put fruits or berries predominantly red in color on the table. These can be red apples, strawberries, cherries, pomegranates.
The central dish of the New Year's table can be hot pilaf. In Eastern culture, rice is considered a symbol of wealth and abundance.
A festive dastarhan would not be complete without fresh greenery, which is a sign of stable development and growth. On New Year's Eve, there should be as many vegetables and a variety of greens on the table as possible - spinach, parsley, cilantro. These days, the bazaars of Turkmenistan offer a wide selection of greens and vegetables grown in greenhouse complexes of Turkmenistan.
Meat and fish dishes are also welcome for the New Year's menu.
The favorite fish species of our people are carp, pike perch, and silver carp. They have few seeds and have a very good effect on the human body. The fish departments of the country's markets offer a rich assortment of seafood - live and boiled crayfish, red and black caviar, etc.
Well, for dessert, confectionery enterprises in our country offer to try high-quality sweets from domestic producers. The news section of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Turkmenistan reports on increasing production of a variety of confectionery products.
