This redirect is about a Novruz tradition in Azerbaijan. For the city in Japan, see Samani, Hokkaido.
Not to be confused with Samanu.

The growing of samani (Azerbaijani: səməni) - green sprouting wheat - is the most sacred Novruz ceremony as the herald of spring. Sprouting samani symbolises sowing and a rich harvest, it represents grain, bread, increase and abundance. Grain and abundance is a pledge of life, existence, the most vital material necessity for life.[1] People have always grown samani from wheat, barley, peas, lentils or other grains in copper dishes; they have always revered it and rejoiced at its sprouting.
