What is Besso?

 Besso is one of the best dry food you can prepare at home before any disaster happens. Besso is in Amharic (Ethiopian National Language). This food has long history and it has been one of the best food people can have during a long journey , war (for fighters ) and it has been a good cure for people who have gastric problem . It has been best kept secret until now.

Besso does not require refrigeration.

How to prepare Besso?

1. Get raw barley (not floor)

2. Roast the barley, (just slightly )  

3. Remove the cover of the barley

4. If you have a mill machine,  grind the barley and make floor

5. Add some spice (optional)

6. It is ready to go

 How to serve Besso?
