About Stroopwafel
Stroopwafel is a traditional Dutch treat originating from the Netherlands, particularly the city of Gouda, during the late 18th or early 19th century. It consists of two thin layers of baked dough with a caramel-like syrup filling in the center. Stroopwafels are a high-calorie snack, typically containing about 375 calories per standard serving (approximately 100g). They are primarily composed of carbohydrates (57.5g), fats (15g), and contain minimal protein (2.5g) and fiber (0g). Essential vitamins and minerals are limited—containing small amounts of calcium (25mg) and iron (1.25mg). While not nutritionally dense, they are enjoyed as a sweet indulgence and a cultural delicacy.
