Breakfast: Kama – Breakfast: Roasted Grain & Pea Flour with Dairy

Breakfast Kama is Estonia’s ancient superfood — a dry mix of roasted barley, rye, oats, and peas, stirred into buttermilk or kefir. At MUNCH CLASSES, you’ll learn how to blend, sweeten, and serve this earthy, protein-rich staple.

Kama dates back to pre-industrial Estonia, when farmers needed portable, nutritious food. It was carried in pouches and mixed with water or milk on the go. The saying “Kama kõhus, jõud luudes” (“Kama in the belly, strength in the bones”) reflects its sustaining power. At MUNCH CLASSES, we explore how kama evolved from survival food to a national breakfast icon.
