Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Baked Turkish Cigarette Borek

  • Metabolic Effect: Cigarette borek is a food with high carbohydrate and fat content. It raises blood sugar quickly and the feeling of fullness is short-lived. Thanks to the cheese it contains, it contributes to calcium intake.
  • Consumption Recommendation: Consuming it with ayran or yogurt helps to balance blood sugar. Portion control should be considered. Choosing those made from whole wheat flour increases fiber intake.
  • Things to Consider: Preferring baked ones instead of fried ones reduces calorie intake. Frequent consumption can cause weight gain.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn these calories, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 35 minutes. Alternatively, you can also do a 20-minute brisk run.
