Boza is an ancient drink which originated in Mesopotamia 8000-9000 years ago. Starting from the 13th century, with the Ottoman invasion of Anatolia, the Turks introduced the drink under the nake 'boza' to the Balkans. The name derives from the Persian word 'buze' meaning 'millet'.
Boza has been found to have several health benefits: the drink helps to balance blood pressure and to facilitate digestion. The drink is a valuable nutrient to physically active people, as it contains vitamins A, C ,E and four types of vitamin B. Boza is especially suitable for vegetarians and vegans, as it is entirely plant-based and a good source of vitamins and thus constitures a good substitute for dairy-based drinks.
