About Pide

Pide, often referred to as 'Turkish pizza,' is a traditional flatbread that originated from Turkey and is a staple of Turkish cuisine. It is typically oval-shaped with a chewy, bread-like crust topped with various ingredients such as minced meat, vegetables, cheeses, or eggs. Pide is rich in carbohydrates, providing 30 grams per serving, and is moderately high in protein at 10 grams, making it a filling meal option. Though its fat content is relatively modest at 7.5 grams per serving, variations with cheese or meat may increase this. It offers small amounts of calcium (75 mg) and iron (1 mg) and minor levels of dietary fiber (1.5 g), meaning it’s more calorie-dense than nutrient-rich overall. Pide is appreciated in Mediterranean diets but should be balanced with vegetables for optimal nutritional value.

Health Benefits
