About Krempita
Krempita is a traditional dessert originating from Balkan cuisine, particularly popular in Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia.

This dessert is high in carbohydrates and fats, providing approximately 200 calories per serving, with 3.3 grams of protein, 26.7 grams of carbohydrates, and 10 grams of fat. Although Krempita is not a significant source of fiber or micronutrients, it does contribute small amounts of calcium (66.7 mg) and iron (0.3 mg). Typically enjoyed as a treat on special occasions, it is known for its rich and indulgent texture, but portion control is essential due to its energy-dense profile.
