About Sewiya

Sewiya, also known as vermicelli, is a thin, long noodle commonly used in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Made primarily from refined wheat flour, it is often cooked in sweet or savory dishes, with the popular dessert version incorporating milk, sugar, nuts, and cardamom for a rich flavor profile. While Sewiya is a versatile ingredient, its nutritional properties depend largely on preparation. Plain vermicelli is low in fat and cholesterol, making it a light carbohydrate option for energy. However, it is often paired with sugar, ghee, and other rich ingredients, increasing calorie and fat content. Opting for whole wheat or fortified varieties of vermicelli can add fiber and nutrients such as iron. Sewiya is best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, with thoughtful preparation to minimize excess sugar or fat.
