Jameed is a traditional Middle Eastern dairy product made from fermented and dried yogurt. It is commonly used in dishes like mansaf, a popular Jordanian meal. The process involves straining yogurt to remove excess liquid, then drying it into hard, rock-like pieces. Jameed has a tangy flavor and is rich in protein and calcium. It is often rehydrated in water before use, allowing it to be incorporated into various recipes. This unique ingredient is not only a staple in Jordanian cuisine but also enjoyed in other countries across the region.
