Farkha Flour

Farkha flour is a pantry staple sold by the kilo at Dekenet Al Nes. Flour is the base of countless home recipes in Lebanese kitchens. It is commonly used to make bread and dough for manakish, fatayer and sfiha, as well as cakes, biscuits and pastries. A spoonful can also thicken sauces and soups or coat vegetables and meat before frying. You can find it on the shelf at our Baaqline branch in the Chouf. Dekenet Al Nes is a package-free grocery store, so you can bring your own jar, tin or bag and take just the amount you need. Refilling your own container helps cut plastic waste and single-use packaging. The shop is a solidarity initiative started by a group of young Lebanese people after the 2019 economic crisis to keep basic goods within reach of families and individuals.
