About Kishk

Kishk is a traditional Middle Eastern and Eastern Mediterranean food made from a mixture of fermented dried yogurt and cracked wheat, typically bulgur. This nutrient-rich staple originates from countries like Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt, where it has been a key part of the culinary heritage for centuries. Packed with complex carbohydrates, protein, and probiotics, kishk offers a wholesome energy source and supports digestive health. Its fermentation process enhances nutrient absorption and introduces beneficial bacteria, contributing to gut health. Kishk is often used as a flavor-packed soup base, porridge, or seasoning in various dishes. However, it can be high in sodium due to the fermentation process, so portion control is key for those monitoring salt intake. Versatile and nutrient-dense, kishk is a pantry favorite for its robust flavor and nutritional benefits.
