About Covrig cu mac
Covrig cu mac is a Romanian-style pretzel, celebrated for its chewy texture and distinctive poppy seed topping. Its name translates to "pretzel with poppy seeds" and is a staple in Romanian street food, often enjoyed as a quick snack or breakfast item. Made from a simple dough of flour, water, yeast, salt, and sugar, the pretzel is boiled briefly before baking, giving it its signature shiny crust. While its poppy seed topping adds flavor and a small dose of healthy fats, the refined flour and added sugar make it less nutrient-dense. Covrig cu mac is relatively low in calories compared to heavier pastries, making it a lighter snack option. However, moderation is key due to its carbohydrate content. Its cultural significance and satisfying taste make it a beloved staple in Romanian cuisine, offering both comfort and a glimpse into traditional flavors.
