Donuts are a sweet, fried pastry often made from flour, sugar, milk, eggs, and yeast or baking powder. Originating from European and American cuisines, variations of this treat exist globally, with some tracing back to Dutch settlers' "olykoek." Donuts come in various forms, such as rings, filled varieties, or decorated with glazes, sprinkles, and other toppings. While rich in carbohydrates and fats due to frying and added sugars, they provide quick energy but lack significant nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Moderation is key, as the high sugar and fat content can contribute to weight gain and other health issues if consumed excessively. Some healthier versions—baked donuts or those made with whole grain flour—offer slightly improved nutritional profiles. Donuts are best enjoyed as an occasional indulgence rather than a dietary staple for optimal health balance.
