Cecina is a traditional dish originating from Spanish and Italian cuisines, though the term refers to different items depending on the region. In Spain, cecina typically refers to air-dried, cured meat, often beef, while in Italy, it denotes a savory pancake made from chickpea flour, olive oil, and water, also known as farinata. The Spanish cecina is protein-rich and low in carbohydrates but may contain higher sodium due to curing processes. Italian cecina, made from chickpeas, is naturally gluten-free and offers fiber, plant-based protein, and essential nutrients like magnesium. It’s often considered a healthy option for those avoiding gluten or seeking vegetarian meals, though it can be calorie-dense depending on preparation and toppings. Both versions reflect their respective regions' culinary traditions and can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet when consumed in moderation.
