Flan is a creamy, caramel-topped dessert with roots in Spanish and Latin American cuisine, though its origins trace back to Roman times. Traditionally made from eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla, flan is baked to a silky custard consistency and topped with a layer of rich caramel. Its nutrient profile includes protein and calcium from eggs and milk, making it a modest source of these essential nutrients. However, flan is high in sugar and often fattier due to whole milk or condensed milk, contributing to its indulgent texture. While it is not a health food, flan can be enjoyed as an occasional treat. Variations exist with plant-based ingredients for vegan versions or lower-sugar recipes for those seeking lighter options. Flan’s balance of sweetness and creaminess makes it a beloved dessert in many cultures worldwide.
