About Kesra
Kesra is a traditional North African flatbread, commonly enjoyed in Algerian and Moroccan cuisine. Made primarily from semolina flour, it is typically leavened with yeast and enriched with ingredients like olive oil or butter, giving it a soft, hearty texture. Kesra is rich in carbohydrates, making it a great source of energy. Depending on the preparation, it may also contain healthy fats from olive oil. This versatile bread pairs well with soups, stews, and tagines, often serving as a staple in daily meals. However, its nutritional profile varies based on preparation methods—adding excessive butter or sugar, for instance, can increase calories and fat content. Its low fiber content may also limit its benefits for digestive health unless paired with fiber-rich dishes. Simple, flavorful, and nourishing, Kesra reflects the warmth and tradition of North African cuisine.
