About Placinta

Placinta is a traditional pastry originating from Romanian and Moldovan cuisine, often enjoyed as a sweet or savory treat. Made from a thin, doughy base typically prepared with flour, water, and sometimes oil, placinta is filled with various ingredients depending on regional preferences. Sweet versions often include cottage cheese, apples, or cherries, while savory varieties may feature potatoes, cabbage, or cheese. It is usually pan-fried or baked until golden and flaky. While placinta is a source of energy due to its carbohydrate-rich dough, its nutritional value largely depends on the filling used. Savory versions with vegetables or cheese can offer protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, but those prepared with sugary or high-fat fillings might be calorie-dense and less healthful. Placinta is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, and homemade versions allow for healthier customization of ingredients.
