Part 4/7:
Genghis Khan was born into a world where sustenance was derived primarily from livestock and forage due to the nomadic lifestyle of his society. His diet consisted mostly of sheep's milk, meats from various game animals, and limited grains. Accounts from travel writers like William of Rubruck detail the traditional diet of the Mongols, which included fermented mare's milk, a beverage known as airag or kumiss.
