About Saj
Saj is a traditional flatbread hailing from Middle Eastern cuisine, often cooked on a convex metal griddle called a saj. Made from a simple mix of flour, water, salt, and sometimes yeast, this unleavened bread is thin and pliable, making it ideal for wraps or serving alongside dips like hummus. Saj is low in fat and typically free of added sugars, making it a lighter option compared to some other breads. When whole wheat flour is used, it offers additional fiber, aiding in digestion and providing sustained energy. However, saj’s nutritional value depends on accompanying ingredients, as fillings like fatty meats or heavy sauces may add calories and saturated fats. Versatile and wholesome, saj can be a healthy choice when paired with lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and heart-healthy spreads. Its origins reflect the rich culinary heritage of the Middle East, where simplicity meets flavor in everyday staples.
