About Pao de queijo
Pão de Queijo, a beloved Brazilian snack, is a gluten-free cheese bread made with tapioca flour, eggs, milk, oil, and cheese—often Parmesan or a Brazilian cheese like Minas. Originating in the state of Minas Gerais, it is known for its crispy exterior and soft, chewy interior. Thanks to its tapioca flour base, it's naturally gluten-free, making it a suitable option for those with gluten sensitivities. The high protein content from eggs and cheese can provide a quick energy boost. However, it is calorie-dense and contains a notable amount of fat from the cheese and oil, so moderation is key. Pão de Queijo is typically enjoyed warm, as a snack or breakfast staple, and pairs perfectly with coffee. Its irresistible texture and savory flavor make it a delightful treat, but mindful portion control is advised for balanced nutrition.
