About Covrigei
Covrigei are traditional Romanian pretzel-shaped snacks, often enjoyed as a quick, portable treat. Made from simple ingredients like wheat flour, water, salt, yeast, and sometimes a touch of sugar, they are typically baked until golden and crispy. These savory bites might be topped with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or coarse salt, offering a satisfying crunch. Covrigei belong to Romania’s rich culinary heritage and are often paired with tea or coffee for a mid-afternoon snack. In terms of nutrition, covrigei are relatively low in fat, making them a lighter option compared to fried snacks. However, their high carbohydrate content from refined flour means they should be eaten in moderation, especially for those watching their blood sugar levels. The presence of seeds can add a small amount of protein and healthy fats. While not a highly nutritious food, covrigei's simplicity and portable nature make them a popular indulgence across Romania.
