thumb|right|Tunisian bsisa of Msaken with grilled wheat, olive oil and dried fruits Bsisa (, Berber aḍemmin, ), also known as bsissa, is a fine powder made from roasted barley and legumes, typical in North African cuisine, prepared and served either as a paste or drink. It dates back to Pharos times. Its history goes back a long way, and travellers and nomads used to take bsisa with them on their journeys since it was both full of nutritional value and easy to carry in its ground powder form.
