About Greek trahana

Trahana is a traditional Greek food made from a mix of fermented dough and dairy such as yogurt, buttermilk, or milk, combined with wheat or semolina. It comes in two main forms: sweet, made with milk, and sour, made with yogurt or buttermilk. Trahana is sun-dried and shaped into small granules, making it ideal for soups and stews, where it creates a comforting, creamy texture. Rich in carbohydrates and protein from the grains and dairy, it is a nutritious choice that provides energy and supports muscle health. While low in fat, sour trahana can also offer probiotic benefits due to its fermented components, supporting gut health. However, its sodium content can be high, depending on preparation methods, so moderation is key. A staple of Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, trahana reflects the region’s emphasis on simple, wholesome ingredients and hearty flavors.
