About Tsoureki
Tsoureki is a traditional sweet bread originating from Greek cuisine, commonly enjoyed during Easter celebrations. Its rich, tender texture and slightly sweet taste come from a mix of flour, sugar, eggs, milk, and butter. Unique to Tsoureki is the addition of aromatic spices like mahleb, derived from cherry seeds, and occasionally mastic, for a distinctive flavor. While Tsoureki is a source of carbohydrates and provides an energy boost, the high sugar and saturated fat content make it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. Some variations include almonds or dried fruits, which add beneficial nutrients like healthy fats and fiber. Its festive nature and cultural significance make Tsoureki a cherished indulgence that’s often shared during family gatherings. For healthier adaptations, whole grain flour, reduced sugar, or alternative sweeteners can be used without compromising its signature appeal.
