Gyro is a popular dish originating from Greek cuisine, known for its flavorful, seasoned meat typically cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Commonly made with lamb, beef, pork, or chicken, gyro meat is sliced thin and served in a warm pita bread, accompanied by toppings like tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and tzatziki sauce—a creamy mixture of yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and herbs. Gyros are rich in protein, thanks to the meat, and pack vitamins and fiber from the fresh vegetables. While the dish offers nutritional benefits, it can be high in calories, sodium, and saturated fats, depending on preparation methods and portion size. Opting for leaner proteins like chicken and lighter sauces can make gyros a healthier choice while retaining their savory charm. Popular worldwide, this versatile street food brings the bold, Mediterranean flavors of Greece to any plate.
