As far as healthy food is concerned, baked food comes first in this category

As far as healthy food is concerned, baked food comes first in this category because baked food items are low in fat. How they are low fat? Just think about the baking environment and you can easily understand why it has low fat content. Baking is done in area which is fully covered and no heat is passed outside until you open its door. So this stored heat helps in releasing natural energy/fat from the food (like meat) and in this way very little amount of oiling is done in the start which is just for triggering the process of baking.

Baked food items become more healthy and tasty when baking is done underground. For example baking a mutton leg or chicken. In this process a hole is made around the item which is to be baked and then red hot pieces of coal are placed in it and then the meal is covered for particular time. In this way all the aroma and flavor remains well absorbed and preserved. Keep in mind that any food will remain tasty unless its flavor is not removed.

As with other types of baked goods, puff pastry is high in carbohydrates. Each 1-oz. serving contains 13 g of carbohydrates, which are your body's primary source of energy. Unfortunately, none of the carbohydrates in puff pastry contain fiber, which helps promote satiety, regulate blood sugar levels and protect digestive health.

Filo pastry has a huge health advantage because there is no fat in the mix. It is made solely from flour and water. Fat – in the form of melted butter, spread or oil – is brushed on the layers as they are assembled for recipes so the quantity of fat used is therefore up to the cook. While most recipes using filo are liberal in the amount of butter or oil they suggest, large quantities are rarely necessary. A standard strudel can be made to perfection with as little as one or two tablespoons of melted spread or oil. The end product still presses all the pie buttons while being much better for our health and waistlines.
