Nougat, also known as proteoglycan, is a semi-soft candy made of protein, syrup and nuts. The section is porous, the structure is loose and the organization is meticulous. Its English name is nougat, so it is transliterated as "Niuzha", which has nothing to do with cattle, and is also translated as "bird knot sugar" and "nougat". Another kind of highly swollen protein candy, with plump appearance and softer tissue, is called Marshmallow in English, transliterated as Mahimalo candy or Mahimalo candy, and translated as cotton candy.
