What is the most popular breakfast in South Africa?
Amasi is by far one of the most popular and loved South African breakfasts. The name means sour or fermented milk, and try not to let that put you off before trying this delectable morning meal.
Amasi is fermented milk in a calabash and originates from South Africa and it is known by the names maas in Afrikaans, Magege in Tsonga, and mafi in Sesotho.
It has a thick and creamy texture, while the flavor is tart and milky, with some describing it as a mix between yogurt and cottage cheese.
Besides probiotic bacteria, amasi is also a great source of protein, calcium, iron, and magnesium. It can be drunk on its own, or combined with honey and fruit for extra sweetness. 😋
