"Produkty Belaruski" Belarus Shopping Tip by Dirim

Four of the things I loved to drink and eat in Belarus:
(from left to right)

1) Moloko s Saharam (Milk with sugar)
I do not know how it is made. It is very densed and sweet milk. If you need something sweet Moloko s Saharam is perfekt. As far as I remember a can of 400 gram Moloko s Saharam was about 600 Rubles (about 25 Eurocents)

2) Sok Yabloçnýy (Apple Juice)
It was really my dream. First of all it is without any additives. Since it is without any conservatives it has to be consumed daily. Although some sugar is added, it is very sour. I think they just gather apples and press them without any fabrication.

It is sold in funny glass jars of 3 liters and it was cheaper than 1 Euros as far as I remember.

3) Kefir
Although it is originally a Caucasian drink made from milk with yeast like yoghurt, it is surprising that itisvery popular in East Europe.

For those who know Turkish AYRAN, I shall say that kefir is very similar to ayran, but less salty and more densed.

I also have to add that it is very healthy and as far as I know Vladimir Putin drinks kefir for breakfast.

4) Smashed vegetables and fruits (Baby food)
In 2004 when I was injured on my head and when I could not move my chin I used to eat that stuff, and honestly speaking I loved that. (They say that men are like babies,maybe it is true :) ) I used to pay about 2 Euros in Turkey for a small can of baby food. When I saw it in Belarus I did not believe my eyes as it was only about 20 Eurocents (1/10 of the price which I used to pay in Turkey)
