About Ham croqueta

Ham croquetas are crispy, bite-sized Spanish snacks made with serrano ham, flour, milk, butter, and seasonings, shaped into cylinders, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried to golden perfection. Originating from Spain, these indulgent treats are a staple of traditional Spanish tapas culture, prized for their creamy interior and crunchy exterior. While croquetas are rich in protein from ham and dairy, they are also calorie-dense due to their fried preparation and use of butter. They provide key nutrients like calcium and iron but should be enjoyed in moderation if following a heart-healthy diet, as they contain saturated fats and sodium. Often paired with fresh vegetables or other lighter tapas, ham croquetas are a delicious way to experience authentic Spanish flavors as part of a balanced meal.
