About Pasteis
Pastéis are a popular Brazilian street food and snack with roots in Portuguese cuisine, featuring thin, crispy pastry pockets filled with a variety of savory or sweet fillings. Traditional fillings include ground beef, cheese, chicken, heart of palm, or sweet options like guava paste with cheese. Typically deep-fried to a golden crunch, pastéis offer a satisfying combination of textures and flavors. While they are flavorful and versatile, their deep-fried preparation makes them high in calories and fat, especially depending on the filling. Opting for lean protein or vegetable-based fillings can make them slightly healthier, though moderation is key. For a lighter alternative, they can sometimes be baked rather than fried. Their appeal lies in their indulgent taste and the nostalgic comfort they bring as a quintessential part of Brazilian street food culture.
