Sfouf is a traditional Lebanese turmeric cake known for its vibrant golden color and subtly spiced flavor. Made with semolina flour, sugar, milk, turmeric, baking powder, and a small amount of oil or butter, it's a sweet treat commonly served during celebrations or gatherings. Turmeric adds its distinctive hue and offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, while the semolina provides a hearty texture and is a source of fiber. However, Sfouf is still relatively high in sugar and fat, making portion control important for maintaining a balanced diet. Often topped with pine nuts or almonds for added flavor and texture, this dessert is a delightful representative of Middle Eastern cuisine and a testament to how spices like turmeric can enrich traditional recipes.
