About Baklava
Baklava is a rich, sweet pastry originating from the Middle East and Mediterranean regions, with roots tracing back to Ottoman cuisine. This dessert is crafted from layers of flaky phyllo dough, generously filled with finely chopped nuts like walnuts, pistachios, or almonds, and bound together with a fragrant syrup or honey. The nuts provide healthy fats, fiber, and essential nutrients such as vitamin E and magnesium, while the use of honey or syrup adds natural sweetness. However, baklava is calorie-dense, often high in sugar and saturated fat due to the butter used to prepare the dough. While it offers some nutritional benefits from the nuts, its indulgent nature means it’s best enjoyed in moderation as a treat rather than a dietary staple. Baklava’s delicate texture, aromatic spices like cinnamon, and signature sweetness make it a beloved dessert across different cultures.
