About Kataifi
Kataifi is a traditional Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dessert made from thin, shredded pastry dough similar to phyllo. Often filled with a mixture of nuts such as walnuts or pistachios, the pastry is rolled into nests or logs, baked until golden, and then soaked in a sweet syrup made from sugar, honey, and spices like cinnamon or cloves. Originating from the region’s rich culinary history, Kataifi is enjoyed in countries like Greece, Turkey, and Lebanon. While its nut filling provides healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins, the addition of syrup contributes to its high sugar content, making it a treat best consumed in moderation. The lightweight pastry lends itself to a flaky texture, with many variations incorporating unique flavors or regional ingredients. Rich in tradition, Kataifi balances indulgence and nutritional value, making it a cherished item for special occasions or celebrations.
