Pistachio Baklava - How Many Calories?

Weighing Pistachio Baklava

How many calories are in one piece?

This pistachio-baklava reference provides 431 kcal per 100 g. A piece weighing 40 g supplies 172 kcal. The source’s 78 g slice supplies 336 kcal, but a smaller bakery piece should not automatically be recorded as 78 g.

If two pieces weigh 80 g together, they supply 345 kcal. Total weight matters alongside piece count. Weigh the syrup-soaked pastry as eaten, rather than using the weight of dry pastry or pistachios alone.

Use equal weights when comparing pistachio rolls too; treating one roll as one baklava slice can hide a portion-size difference.

Pistachios, fat and syrup

The 40 g example contains 15.55 g carbohydrate, 11.34 g fat and 3.1 g protein. Pistachio filling does not make it equivalent to the same weight of plain nuts: pastry, syrup and cooking fat are part of every bite.

Thickness, layering and syrup vary between bakeries. Use your own product’s label when available. Walnut baklava and milk-soaked or cream-filled versions need their own entries, even if the pieces look similar. Ice cream or clotted cream served beside it contributes separately.

The Diyetkolik reference is a generic example without a full recipe. Pistachio percentage, total sugars, saturated fat and micronutrients remain unverified. Placeholder micronutrient zeros were not copied. Check the producer’s recipe for wheat, dairy and other allergens.
