Bakery products are a general name given to foods made from flour and are among the most consumed foods in daily life. Bread, pasta, bulgur, biscuits, pastry, cake and many other foods are the most well-known examples of bakery products. These foods have an important place in human nutrition and are found in different forms in almost every culture. For example, while bread is considered the main source of nutrition in many countries, pasta and bulgur are also frequently consumed, especially in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines.
Biscuits and cakes are popular sweets. On special occasions, cakes (see our Cake Balls recipe) and other baked products are very popular. Bakery items are popular because they are tasty, filling, and nutritious. While bakery goods are crucial for nutrition, their nutritional content varies by variety and preparation technique.
What are the Types of Bakery Products?
Bakery products are among the indispensable flavours of Turkish cuisine and can be divided into various categories. Bread, one of these categories, can be consumed in many different types. For example, white bread, whole wheat bread, and rye bread are quite common. Another category, sugary bakery products, is preferred especially for breakfast and tea time. This group includes products such as pastry, buns, and simit.
Among sweet bakery products, various desserts such as baklava, şöbiyet and revani stand out. In addition, homemade desserts such as cakes, pastries and cookies are also popular. Canapés and salty cookies, which are popular tea-time flavours, also have an important place among bakery products.

What Should We Pay Attention to When Buying Bakery Products?
The expiry date should be our first consideration when purchasing bakery items. Check expired items since they might harm your health. Second, check bakery product packing and storage. If the package is ripped, opened, or damaged, the product may be unsanitary.
Another point to pay attention to is the list of ingredients of the product. Checking whether there are substances you are allergic to or whether there are too many additives is important for your health. Also, the freshness of bakery products is a big factor. It would be healthier to prefer freshly baked and dairy products in the market or bakery.
