A doughnut is a sweet, deep-fried or baked pastry made from flour, sugar, milk, eggs, and yeast or baking powder, resulting in a fluffy, golden treat typically shaped like a ring or filled with cream, jam, or custard. Originating from Dutch "olykoek" and popularized in America during the 19th century, doughnuts are a classic indulgence across many cuisines, often paired with coffee or tea. While they provide quick energy due to their carbohydrate content, doughnuts are generally high in sugar, fat, and calories, offering little nutritional value. The added toppings or glazes, such as chocolate or frosting, can increase sugar content significantly. Due to their low fiber and nutrient density, excessive consumption may contribute to weight gain or spikes in blood sugar. Moderation, alongside balanced eating, is key to enjoying this popular dessert without compromising health goals.
