About Keshek soup

Keshek Soup is a traditional Middle Eastern dish, particularly popular in Levantine and Syrian cuisine. It features keshek, a fermented mixture of bulgur wheat and yogurt, which is dried and ground into powder. This soup is typically prepared by simmering the keshek powder with water or broth, olive oil, garlic, and spices such as dried mint or cumin. Occasionally, vegetables or small pieces of meat are added for extra texture and flavor. The fermentation process gives keshek its tangy taste and boosts its probiotic benefits, supporting gut health. Bulgur wheat provides fiber, aiding digestion, while yogurt contributes protein and calcium for bone health. However, keshek can be high in sodium due to the fermentation and preservation process, making moderation key for those watching their salt intake. Its comforting flavor and nutrient-rich ingredients make Keshek Soup a unique and satisfying addition to any meal.
