Sellou Marocain, also known as Sfouf, is a traditional Moroccan dessert often enjoyed during celebrations, especially Ramadan. This nutrient-dense confection is made by blending roasted flour, ground almonds, toasted sesame seeds, honey, butter, and aromatic spices like cinnamon and anise. The mixture is then shaped or packed into containers for easy serving. Its rich texture and sweet, nutty flavor make it a comforting treat. Sellou is a source of healthy fats and protein thanks to its almonds and sesame seeds, which also contribute essential minerals like magnesium and calcium. However, it is high in calories and often contains a considerable amount of sugar and butter, making it best enjoyed in moderation. Known for its nutrient-packed ingredients, Sellou historically provided energy and sustenance after long fasting hours. Its wholesome, aromatic profile reflects Morocco's culinary tradition of balancing flavor with function.
