About Bechamel sauce
Béchamel sauce, often referred to as white sauce, is a classic base in French cuisine and one of the five mother sauces of French cooking. Made from a simple blend of butter, flour, and milk, it's cooked until smooth and thickened. While its origins are tied to 17th-century France, béchamel is widely used in dishes like lasagna, macaroni and cheese, and creamy gratins. Though rich and flavorful, it is calorie-dense due to its butter and flour content, making moderation important. It also contains calcium from the milk, offering some nutritional benefit. Depending on the milk type used—whole, skim, or plant-based—the calorie and fat content can vary. Customizing with herbs or reducing fats offers a lighter alternative. A versatile and comforting staple, béchamel can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet when consumed thoughtfully.
