About Naan dippers
Naan dippers are a smaller variation of the traditional naan bread, primarily originating from South Asia. Naan is a staple in Indian cuisine but has grown in popularity globally due to its versatility with curries, dips, and other dishes. Naan dippers are made from flour, water, yogurt, and leavening agents, creating a soft and slightly chewy texture. They are energy-dense, typically containing carbohydrates for quick energy and small amounts of protein and fat depending on the preparation. A serving of naan dippers (about 50 grams) provides approximately 160-200 calories, 28-30 grams of carbohydrates, 4-6 grams of protein, and 3-5 grams of fat. They are often enriched with minerals like iron and B vitamins when made with fortified flour.
