Italian Savory- Pizza

Pizza is an Italian savory dish made up of a typically round, flattened foundation of leavened wheat-based dough topped with tomatoes, cheese, and frequently additional ingredients and cooked at a high temperature, traditionally in a wood-fired oven. A little pizza is occasionally referred to as a pizzetta.

The term "pizza" is believed to have originated from the Latin word pinsa, which means flatbread (although there is much debate about the origin of the word). According to mythology, Roman soldiers developed an affinity for Jewish Matzoth while stationed in Roman-occupied Palestine and invented a similar dish upon their return.
Pizza gained popularity in part as a result of the sheer volume of Italian immigrants: they accounted for 4 million of the 20 million immigrants who arrived in the United States between 1880 and 1920. They carried their palates and pizza-making abilities with them. This is largely due to the fact that pizza is not traditionally Italian.
​
Americans adore pizza, so much so that, according to the National Association of Pizza Operators, we consume around 100 acres of it daily. That's 350 slices each second! Frozen pizzas are a common meal choice for many individuals. They are frequently a diet staple for college students and busy families. While there are exceptions, the majority include excessive amounts of calories, sugar, and sodium. They are often heavily processed and contain extra sugar, chemical preservatives, and harmful fats.  ​While pizza is a delicious dish, it is also a nutritious meal option when preparation is taken into consideration. Fast food items such as pizzas typically have high calories, fat, sodium, and other unhealthy ingredients, but even frozen and fast food options can be made healthier. 

 Many cultures prize the taste and easiness of pizza, but the Italians were among the first to really refine their method.
 Pizza connoisseurs know that one slice of pizza gives you a good deal of calcium from cheese, and this is supported by the fact that tomatoes offer lycopene that fights disease. Regular white crust is processed grain, which results in higher levels of blood sugar, dietary cholesterol, and absorbed fat. On the other hand, whole-wheat pizza crust provides a more wholesome source of whole grains and fiber and is digested more slowly than refined grains.

Conclusion:
Another plus of pizza is that it offers calcium from cheese and lycopene, which helps fight disease. Although white-flour pizza crust (with the exception of whole-wheat varieties) is healthier than its regular counterpart because it contains whole grains and fiber, this type of crust is digested more slowly, giving the digestive system a break between servings.  Do you love pizza as well?​
