About Shakoy

Shakoy, also known as Filipino twisted doughnuts, is a popular snack or dessert originating from the Philippines. Made from simple ingredients like flour, sugar, yeast, and water, the dough is twisted into rope-like shapes, deep-fried until golden, and coated with sugar for added sweetness. Its light, fluffy texture and delightful crunch make it a favorite treat. Shakoy is a source of quick energy due to its carbohydrate content, but it is also calorie-dense owing to the frying process and sugar coating. While it provides a satisfying indulgence, Shakoy is best enjoyed in moderation as it is low in essential nutrients and high in refined carbohydrates. This traditional Filipino pastry highlights the country's love for comfort foods and culinary creativity, bringing a touch of nostalgia and joy to all who savor it.
