About Basbousa
Basbousa is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert commonly enjoyed across countries like Egypt, Lebanon, and Turkey. Made primarily from semolina flour, sugar, yogurt, and a touch of butter or oil, the batter is enriched with flavors like coconut and often topped with whole almonds before baking. Once golden, it's drizzled with a sugar or rosewater syrup, giving it its signature moist texture and sweetness. While Basbousa provides energy from its carbohydrate content, it is high in sugar and calories, making portion control important for those watching their intake. The semolina flour in Basbousa contains some fiber and nutrients, and the yogurt contributes a modest amount of protein and calcium. However, due to its sweetness and fat content, Basbousa is best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a daily indulgence. Perfect with coffee or tea, it remains a beloved delicacy during festive gatherings.
