About Tarator

Tarator is a traditional cold soup originating from Balkan and Middle Eastern cuisines, particularly popular in Bulgaria, Turkey, and Greece. It is primarily made with yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, dill, walnuts, olive oil, and water, with variations across regions. Tarator is often served chilled, making it a refreshing dish in warmer months. Nutritionally, it is rich in probiotics from the yogurt, which support gut health and digestion. Cucumbers provide hydration and vitamins such as vitamin K, while olive oil offers heart-healthy fats. Walnuts, when included, add omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. However, the sodium content can be high if prepared with excessive salt, and calorie levels may increase depending on the quantity of oil or nuts used. Overall, Tarator is a light, nutrient-packed option that balances flavor and wellness, offering key vitamins and minerals while being low in carbohydrates.
