About Borekcisi
Börekçi, known for its namesake pastry "börek," is a beloved staple of Turkish cuisine. It typically consists of thin layers of phyllo dough filled with various ingredients such as cheese, spinach, potatoes, or minced meat, then baked or fried to golden perfection. Börek is rich in flavor but varies in nutritional value depending on its preparation. Versions filled with vegetables like spinach offer fiber and vitamins, while cheese varieties provide calcium and protein. However, the phyllo dough is often brushed with oil or butter, making it high in calories and fat. Fried börek, in particular, can contribute to higher saturated fat intake. When enjoyed in moderation or baked with lighter oils, börek can be a satisfying treat or appetizer that reflects the depth and warmth of Turkish culinary tradition. Opting for vegetable fillings and healthier cooking methods enhances its nutritional balance.
