Gelato is a creamy, frozen dessert that originated in Italy and is known for its rich texture and intense flavor. Made with milk, cream, sugar, and flavorings like fruit, chocolate, or nuts, gelato contains less air than traditional ice cream, resulting in a denser consistency. Unlike many ice creams, gelato typically has a lower fat content because it uses more milk and less cream, and it may also contain fewer calories per serving. However, it can still be high in sugar, which should be considered if consumed as part of a balanced diet. Gelato is often acclaimed for its vibrant, natural flavors, sometimes made with fresh, whole food ingredients. While it can be a delightful treat, moderation is key to enjoying gelato in a way that aligns with healthy eating habits.
