täytte

Täyte is a Finnish word that translates to "filling" or "stuffing" in English. It refers to a substance used to fill a void, often within food items. The specific type of täyte can vary greatly depending on the context.

In culinary applications, täyte is a common component in many dishes. For example, it can be found in pastries like lihapiirakka (meat pie) or karjalanpiirakka (Karelian pie), where it provides the savory or sweet interior. It can also refer to the filling in sandwiches, crepes, or even cakes. Common ingredients for savory täytte include minced meat, fish, cheese, or vegetables, while sweet fillings often consist of berries, fruits, jam, or cream.

Beyond food, the term täyte can be used more broadly. In construction, it might refer to infill material used in walls or other structures. In textiles, it could denote the padding or stuffing inside items like pillows or quilts. The core concept remains the same: something used to fill up or supplement another element.
