The new cantina podcasts – Food science: Is souvlaki the healthiest fast food
Have you ever wondered why we eat what we eat? How can we scientifically explain that our lifestyle affects our diet and how it connects to our mental and physical health? What are the secret combinations that can make us feel better?
The new podcast series “Food Science” by Cantina aims to uncover everything hidden behind foods and flavors. Gianna Balafouti hosts food scientists and nutritionists in the studio, exploring the power of the senses, seeking answers, and approaching the magical world of gastronomy from a different perspective.
In the first podcast, we talk about one of the most beloved foods of all Greeks: souvlaki. This street food combines flavor and enjoyment, but—as it turns out—it also has its own place in the discussion about healthy eating.
Is souvlaki the healthiest fast food?
Our guest is clinical dietitian-nutritionist Panagiotis Zisis, with whom we examine its nutritional value, compare it to pizza and burgers, determine whether it’s best enjoyed with or without French fries, and analyze how it can become healthier. We discuss the role of parsley, dietary trends, and the best, healthiest, and most original combinations. Listen to the episode and discover the “alibi” you’ve been looking for to enjoy your souvlaki guilt-free.
Many publications rank souvlaki among the world’s most popular street foods. It competes with other celebrities like hot dogs, burgers, pizza, falafel, and empanadas—and it’s no coincidence! Even more impressive is the fact that the process of making it at home and tasting it at souvlaki shops often goes viral on social media, with TikTok and YouTube surpassing 50 million views.
