Jameed (Dried Fermented Yogurt)

Jameed (Dried Fermented Yogurt) is a traditional Levantine product made by fermenting, straining and then drying yogurt into dense, often hard balls; it is commonly used in Jordanian and Palestinian dishes (for example mansaf) and as a savory seasoning in soups and stews. It is a concentrated dairy ingredient and provides about 42g of protein per 100 g. Nutritionally, Jameed is notable for its very high protein content and substantial calcium levels typical of concentrated dairy, but it is also preserved with a lot of salt so it should be used sparingly if you are watching sodium intake. From a health perspective it supplies a high-quality amino acid profile and bone-supporting minerals thanks to its concentration, while its fermentation and drying make it shelf-stable and intensely flavorful; consider lower-salt yogurt options when you need a similar creamy, tangy character with less sodium.
