Baklava

Baklava is a sweet layered pastry of phyllo dough, chopped nuts and syrup or honey, common across Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines and often served as a festive dessert. It is energy-dense at 412kcal per 100g and is known for its flaky texture and very sweet, syrupy finish. Nutritionally, Baklava provides protein and minerals from the nuts used (for example magnesium and trace copper) but also contains substantial added sugars and butter or oil, which makes it high in fat and calories relative to its portion size. Because of the nuts it contains, Baklava contributes some quality plant-based fats and micronutrients, but as a treat it is best enjoyed in small portions or swapped for lower-sugar, nut-forward alternatives when you want a healthier dessert option.
