About Mursik
Mursik is a traditional fermented milk beverage originating from the Kalenjin community of Kenya. Prepared by fermenting cow’s milk in specially treated gourds, it is often infused with smoked herbs like soot from specific indigenous trees, which impart a unique flavor and aroma. Rich in probiotics, Mursik supports gut health and digestion by fostering beneficial microorganisms. This nutrient-dense drink is an excellent source of protein, calcium, and vitamins essential for bone health and body repair. Its fermentation process enhances digestibility, making it a suitable option for lactose-intolerant individuals. However, those monitoring fat intake should be mindful, as Mursik often contains full-cream milk. As a cultural delicacy, it represents a sustainable approach to food preservation and offers a natural, wholesome alternative to sugary processed beverages.
