Piyaya is a sweet flatbread made from the Philippines, commonly associated with the cuisine of Negros Occidental. It is crafted from flour and water, filled with a paste made predominantly of muscovado sugar and sometimes sesame seeds, which is then flattened and grilled until golden brown. Piyaya is a popular snack or dessert due to its flaky texture and caramel-like sweetness. While it provides energy due to its carbohydrate content, its sugar levels make moderation important for those monitoring caloric intake. Since traditional versions don’t contain preservatives, it can be considered a cleaner sweet option compared to highly processed snacks. However, it’s best enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced diet due to its minimal protein and nutrient diversity. These palm-sized treats reflect the rich heritage and artistry of Filipino baking.
