About Kleicha
Kleicha is a traditional Iraqi pastry, often enjoyed during festive occasions like Eid and family celebrations. It has a flaky, slightly crumbly texture and comes in various shapes, typically filled with sweet or spiced ingredients. Common fillings include chopped dates seasoned with cardamom, walnuts mixed with sugar and cinnamon, or fragrant sesame seeds. The dough, made from flour, butter, and milk, is lightly sweetened and enriched with spices such as fennel or anise. Kleicha is rich in dietary fiber and natural sugars from its date filling, offering an energy boost and aiding digestion. However, it is relatively high in calories due to the use of butter and sugar, so moderation is key. This beloved pastry reflects Iraq's culinary heritage, blending sweetness with warm, aromatic spices, and provides a delightful mix of indulgence and cultural tradition when enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
