One cup of Filo pastry is around 238.6 grams and contains approximately 18.9 calories, 20.5 grams of protein, 6.8 grams of fat, and 150.0 grams of carbohydrates.
Filo pastry is a delicate, flaky dough made from flour, water, and a touch of oil or vinegar. Originating from the Mediterranean, particularly in Greek and Middle Eastern cuisines, it’s renowned for its impressive layers that create a satisfying crunch in dishes like baklava and spanakopita. While traditionally higher in fat due to the use of oil or butter for layering, filo can be a healthier alternative to puff pastry, with fewer calories and less saturated fat. Its versatility in both sweet and savory recipes makes it a favorite for chefs and home cooks alike, turning simple fillings into exquisite culinary creations.
