About Covrig

Covrig is a Romanian baked good, similar to a pretzel, enjoyed as a popular snack or breakfast item. Made from simple ingredients like flour, water, yeast, and salt, the dough is shaped into a loop or twist before being baked to golden perfection. Covrigi are often topped with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or coarse salt for added texture and flavor. Originating from Romanian street food culture, they are cherished for their portability and versatility. While Covrigi are low in fat and provide quick energy from carbohydrates, their healthiness depends on portion size and toppings. Saltier versions may be high in sodium, while sugary variants, sometimes dusted with powdered sugar, can add extra calories. Pairing with a protein source or enjoying plain covrigi in moderation can make them part of a balanced diet.
