About Seffa

Seffa is a traditional Moroccan dish made with steamed couscous or fine vermicelli, typically topped with a mix of powdered sugar, cinnamon, and ground almonds. This hearty dish is often served as a sweet side or dessert at special gatherings and celebrations. Sometimes, a savory version includes a base of lamb or chicken cooked with aromatic spices like saffron and ginger, blending sweet and savory flavors. Packed with carbohydrates, Seffa is a source of energy, though its sweet toppings may add significant sugar content. When prepared with almonds and spices, it offers some nutritional benefits, such as healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants. However, moderation is key for those watching sugar intake. With its rich texture and unique flavor profile, Seffa remains a cherished comfort food in Moroccan cuisine.
