About Kanafa
Kanafa, also spelled Kunafa, is a beloved Middle Eastern dessert made from shredded phyllo dough or fine semolina dough, layered with sweet cheese or cream, and soaked in a fragrant sugar syrup infused with rose or orange blossom water. Originating from the Levant region, it is a staple in Arab cuisine, particularly during festive occasions and holidays. While Kanafa is rich in flavor and texture, its nutritional profile reflects its indulgent nature. It is high in carbohydrates from the dough and syrup, and its creamy filling adds significant amounts of fat and protein. However, Kanafa also contains calcium from the cheese and, in some recipes, a touch of fiber from crushed nuts, like pistachios, used as a garnish. While delicious, Kanafa is best enjoyed in moderation due to its high sugar and calorie content, making it a treat rather than an everyday dish.
