Bedouin food

Bedouin food reflects their desert lifestyle, emphasizing hearty, preservable, and locally available ingredients. Typical dishes include flatbreads like khubz, grilled meats such as lamb and goat, dairy products like cheese and yogurt, and staple grains like rice or bulgur. Meals often feature simple seasonings—salt, herbs, and spices—to enhance flavor. Vegetables and fruits are seasonal or preserved. Traditional cooking methods include grilling, roasting, and slow-cooking in communal tandirs (clay ovens). Food holds cultural significance, often served communally during gatherings and celebrations, fostering a strong sense of community and hospitality.
