Ladyfingers, also known as savoiardi, are delicate, sweet sponge biscuits originating from Italy. These oblong treats are commonly used in desserts like tiramisu and trifles due to their soft texture and ability to soak up liquids while maintaining structure. Made from a simple mixture of eggs, sugar, and flour, ladyfingers are typically low in fat but high in refined carbohydrates and sugar, making them a less nutrient-dense food. They provide quick energy but lack significant amounts of fiber, protein, or essential vitamins, except for a modest contribution of iron and calcium. While not inherently "healthy," their airy texture and mild sweetness make them a versatile ingredient in light desserts. For a balanced diet, enjoy them in moderation, paired with nutrient-rich ingredients like fruit or yogurt to offset their sugar content. Ladyfingers are a classic indulgence with a rich culinary heritage.
