About Algerian mbesses
Algerian Mbesses, also known as semolina cake, is a traditional treat rooted in Algerian cuisine. This dense and mildly sweet dessert is crafted from basic ingredients like coarse semolina, sugar, melted butter, and a touch of water or milk to bind them together. Sometimes infused with orange blossom water or vanilla for added aroma, Mbesses is typically baked and then sliced into diamond or square-shaped pieces. While rich in carbohydrates from the semolina and calories from the butter and sugar, it provides energy and can be enjoyed in moderation. The cake is often served during gatherings, holidays, or alongside tea, making it a cultural staple. However, due to its high fat and sugar content, overconsumption should be avoided for those mindful of caloric intake or managing blood sugar levels. The simplicity of its ingredients makes it accessible, yet indulgent in moderation.
