About Kumis

Kumis is a traditional fermented dairy drink originating from Central Asia, particularly popular among nomadic cultures like the Kazakhs and Mongols. Made from mare's milk, it undergoes natural fermentation, producing a slightly tangy flavor and mild alcoholic content. Rich in probiotics due to its fermentation process, kumis supports gut health, aids digestion, and may enhance the immune system. It is also a source of protein, vitamins B and C, and essential minerals like calcium and phosphorus. However, mare’s milk has a higher lactose content compared to cow’s milk, which may not be suitable for individuals lactose intolerant. The drink's mild alcohol content should also be considered when consumed regularly. Kumis is celebrated for its cultural heritage and nutritional benefits, making it a unique staple in traditional diets.
