It is a malt drink made from flour, it has a thick consistency and a low alcohol content (usually around 1%), and a slightly acidic sweet flavor. It is rich in vitamins A, B and E, iron, and appreciated as a drink that warms and fills with power. It is believed that boza can strengthen the immune system and possibly increase women's breast.
