About Almond meringue

Almond meringue is a light and crispy dessert featuring whipped egg whites, sugar, and finely ground almonds. This sweet treat originates from European cuisine, particularly French and Italian traditions, where meringues are a popular base for confections. Almond meringues are naturally gluten-free, making them a suitable option for those with gluten sensitivities. The egg whites provide a source of protein, while almonds contribute healthy fats, vitamin E, and magnesium. However, the high sugar content makes them less ideal for those monitoring their calorie or carbohydrate intake. Despite their sweetness, almond meringues are relatively low in fat compared to other baked goods. They are often enjoyed as a standalone snack, used to decorate cakes, or paired with fruits for a balanced dessert.
