Ladyfinger biscuits, also known as savoiardi, are light, airy sponge biscuits with a delicate sweetness and crisp texture. Originally from Italy, they have become a staple in European cuisine and are famously used in desserts like tiramisu and trifles. Made from a simple batter of eggs, sugar, and flour, their fluffy consistency comes from whipped egg whites. While they are low in fat, ladyfingers are high in carbohydrates and sugars, making them an energy-dense treat rather than a nutritious snack. They are cholesterol-rich due to the use of eggs but contain little fiber or protein. Their mild sweetness and ability to soak up liquids make them versatile for dessert recipes. Though not overly nutritious, they can fit into a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation or paired with fresh fruits and lighter ingredients in desserts.
