Rural villagers prepare the healthy Tamena pastry and sell it to get some money for living expenses. A healthy sweet pastry that can be sold to increase the local financial economy.

Tamena is a very famous Algerian pastry, traditionally served at the time of birth, when a new baby is born. It is a paste of roasted semolina (milled wheat), golden but not brown, honey and melted butter. Tamena is an important cultural gift that every family serves to people who come to congratulate the new born baby. In rural villages in Algeria, it is prepared and placed into pots and sold locally. Sales increase the local economy and can also be exported to other regional places. but it is not sold in shops but rather in rural villages.
