About this dish

Bsisa (Arabic: بسيسة, Berber aḍemmin, Hebrew: בסיס), also known as bsissa, is a fine powder made from roasted barley and legumes, typical in Tunisian cuisine, prepared and served either as a paste or drink. It dates back to Pharos times. Bsisa is also known and consumed throughout North Africa. Its history goes back a long way, and travellers and nomads used to take bsisa with them on their journeys since it was both full of nutritional value and easy to carry in its ground powder form.
