Filo pastry, also known as phyllo, is a paper-thin dough commonly used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Balkan cuisines. Made from flour, water, and a small amount of oil or vinegar, its simple ingredients yield a versatile, crisp pastry ideal for dishes like baklava and spanakopita. Unlike puff pastry, filo is layered with minimal fat—usually applied when assembling recipes, often in the form of butter or oil. While low in calories and fat on its own, the nutritional profile of filo-based dishes depends on the fillings and oils used. It’s a lighter alternative to some heavier doughs but offers little in terms of fiber, protein, or micronutrients. As part of balanced recipes, filo can fit into a healthy diet, but its refined carbohydrate content means it should be consumed in moderation, especially in sweet or heavily buttered dishes.
