Qymyz
Fermented Mare's Milk
Yes, keto as served. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kazakhstani food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Qymyz is a traditional fermented beverage made from mare's milk, deeply rooted in nomadic culture. It is known for its distinctive slightly alcoholic, effervescent, and tangy taste. This unique drink is naturally low in carbs (from residual lactose), rich in beneficial probiotics, and a good source of protein and fats, making it a suitable keto-friendly dairy option.
Key ingredients
Fermented mare's milk.
Optional tweaks
N/A (naturally keto, but always confirm no added sugars in commercial versions, though this is rare for Qymyz).
Watch out for
Naturally contains lactose, which ferments down but still leaves residual sugars. Commercial varieties could potentially have added sugars, though this is uncommon for Qymyz.
