Milk

Milk is a everyday kitchen staple that many households keep on hand. It is commonly added to tea and coffee, stirred into hot drinks alongside herbal infusions, and used in cooking and baking, from breakfast dishes and sauces to rice pudding and other traditional desserts. At Dekenet Al Nes it is sold by the kilo and shelved with the herbal teas, so you can take only the amount you need. Dekenet Al Nes is a package-free grocery store in Baaqline, in the Chouf, started by a group of young Lebanese people as a solidarity initiative after the economic crisis that began in 2019. Customers are encouraged to bring their own containers and refill, which helps cut plastic waste and single-use packaging while keeping basic goods within reach for families and individuals.
