About Makroud
Makroud is a traditional North African pastry, particularly popular in Tunisia, Algeria, and Libya. It’s made from a semolina-based dough, often flavored with orange blossom water, and typically filled with a sweet date paste. The pastries are cut into diamond shapes, fried until golden, and then coated in honey or syrup, giving them a rich, sticky sweetness. While Makroud offers natural energy from dates and semolina, it is also calorie-dense due to the frying and honey coating. The semolina provides fiber and some essential minerals, while the dates are rich in potassium and antioxidants. However, its high sugar and fat content make it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. Makroud ties together bold flavors and rich textures, making it a favorite in celebrations and festive occasions across its regions of origin.
