Ashure: In Turkey, Noah's Ark Pudding Is A Symbol Of Friendship and Unity.
You cannot visit Turkey without coming across a very special dessert called Noah's ark pudding, better known as 'ashure' (aah-shoor-EY').
You might be hearing the word Ashura a lot these days, a delicious pudding with almost everything in it. Well, take this time to become acquainted with this mouth-watering dessert and the history behind it.
Ashura (pronounced ashure), otherwise known as Noah's pudding, is a Turkish dessert of Armenian origin with a unique story. Known as the oldest dessert in the world, Turkish legend has it that it was actually Noah who made this pudding first - hence the name. The legend tells that food supplies started diminishing after many long days on the arc, so the little bits of what was left over were put into a pot and cooked together. The outcome was a pudding that has traveled through the ages known by many cooking in modern Turkish kitchens.
This pudding is more than just a flavorsome dessert; it is also great for the immune system, especially during the winter months. Because it is made from wheat, this pudding is rich in carbohydrates and calories that keep you warm and give you the energy you need to stay active and healthy. The nuts in Ashura also provide your body with iron, calcium, vitamin E and vitamin B, making it a favorite for the winter.
