Gyros are a popular Greek dish featuring flavorful slices of seasoned meat—typically lamb, beef, or chicken—cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Served in warm pita bread, they are commonly topped with fresh vegetables like tomato, onion, lettuce, and cucumber, and paired with creamy tzatziki sauce, which is made from yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and herbs. Originating from Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, gyros offer a blend of protein-rich meats and nutrient-packed vegetables. The use of yogurt in tzatziki adds calcium and probiotics, while the fresh produce provides vitamins and antioxidants. However, traditional gyros can be high in sodium and saturated fats, depending on the preparation and meat choice. Opting for leaner cuts of meat and whole-grain pitas can make gyros a healthier option for enjoying their distinctive flavors and cultural appeal.
