About Aletria

Aletria is a traditional Portuguese dessert made primarily from fine vermicelli noodles, eggs, sugar, milk, and cinnamon, often flavored with lemon zest. This sweet and creamy dish is often served during festive occasions such as Christmas. The noodles are cooked in milk and sugar, resulting in a rich and indulgent texture. While Aletria offers a comforting blend of flavors, its nutritional profile makes it more of a treat than a health-conscious choice. It contains significant levels of carbohydrates and sugars from the noodles and milk, as well as fat from the eggs. However, the cinnamon adds a touch of antioxidants and health benefits, such as potential blood sugar regulation. Despite its decadent nature, Aletria holds cultural significance and is appreciated for its warming qualities and ties to tradition. Moderation is key when enjoying this dessert as part of a balanced diet.
