History of Spanakopita

Spanakopita, a beloved Greek dish, has roots that trace back to ancient times. Derived from the words “spanaki” (meaning spinach) and “pita” (meaning pie), this savory pastry has been a staple in Greek cuisine for centuries. Traditionally made with layers of phyllo dough filled with spinach, feta cheese, onions, and herbs, spanakopita is a testament to the rich culinary heritage of the Mediterranean region.
