Kama flour stirred into kefir with berries
🇪🇪 Tartu
Kama is a distinctly Estonian food: a finely milled mixture of roasted barley, rye, oat, and pea flours, kept in the cupboard and stirred into kefir, buttermilk, or milk to make an instant, nutty, filling breakfast. Sweetened lightly with honey or berries, it is old peasant food that Estonians still love.
