Kishk is an artisanal popular product in Egypt as well as in the Middle East, it is mainly made with wheat, yet no research had used quinoa in making kishk.

Camel milk quinoa-wheat kishk T3 exhibited the highest content of iron (53.1 mg/L). Probiotic bacteria level maintained in all samples during storage. Coliform, yeasts, and molds not detected in all treatments. Kishk prepared from quinoa, camel milk provide highly biological value and sensible shelf life.
