About Phyllo pastry
Phyllo pastry, also known as filo, is a delicate, paper-thin dough commonly used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Balkan cuisines. Its origins trace back to Ottoman times, where it was a staple in dishes like baklava and spanakopita. Made from simple ingredients—flour, water, a touch of oil, and occasionally vinegar—it is layered to create a light, flaky texture. Phyllo is naturally low in fat and calories, making it a thinner alternative to buttery pastries like puff pastry. However, its health profile depends largely on preparation; traditional recipes often use generous amounts of butter or oil between layers. When made with wholesome fillings such as spinach, herbs, and lean proteins, phyllo-based dishes can be nutrient-rich. On the other hand, desserts featuring phyllo are usually high in sugar and saturated fats. Overall, phyllo offers versatility for both savory and sweet recipes while allowing room for healthier adaptations.
