About Bechamel
Béchamel is a classic white sauce rooted in French cuisine, often considered one of the five mother sauces. Made from butter, flour, and milk, it achieves its creamy texture through a process called roux-based thickening. This versatile sauce serves as the foundation for many dishes, such as lasagna, mac and cheese, or gratins, adding richness and depth to recipes. Nutritionally, Béchamel is calorie-dense due to its butter and flour content, which contribute fats and carbohydrates. While it offers minimal protein and key nutrients, it contains calcium from the milk, making it a modest source of this essential mineral. However, because of its high fat and calorie content, especially when used generously, moderation is advisable for maintaining a balanced diet. Béchamel’s simplicity and adaptability make it a culinary staple, but its nutritional impact depends on serving size and how it complements the broader meal.
