The pride of Khorezm cuisine - "Tukhum barak" granted state protection

One of the unique examples of Uzbek national cuisine, specific to Khorezm, is the famous dish "Tukhum barak", which has now been officially included in the state register as a geographical indication. This was reported by the Ministry of Justice.

This dish is distinguished not only by its special preparation process, but also by its composition and its traditional style based on historical values. "Tukhum barak" has held a special place on the table of the Khorezm people for centuries. It is prepared using specially kneaded dough, natural ingredients, especially eggs, onions, and various herbs. In every piece, one can feel not only the taste but also the labor and love of the people.

Granting the status of a geographical indication is an important legal step toward ensuring the quality, preserving the uniqueness, and further promoting this dish as a Khorezm brand. Now this dish can be recognized and protected only for its specific regional characteristics.

It should be emphasized that a geographical indication is a form of intellectual property that certifies that a certain product is produced in a specific region and possesses special quality and characteristics linked to the natural and human factors of that region. It is not just a mark of quality, but also a legal protection of national pride, historical heritage, and traditional knowledge.

This decision of the Ministry of Justice may mark a new stage in introducing not only the dishes of Khorezm, but the gastronomic culture of Uzbekistan to the world. Now "Tukhum barak" will be introduced to the public not only as a delicious dish, but also as a national brand and a rich heritage representing the honor of the region.
