About Lemon meringue

Lemon meringue is a classic dessert originating from European cuisine, often associated with French and English baking traditions. It features a rich, buttery pastry crust filled with zesty lemon curd and topped with a light, fluffy meringue made from whipped egg whites and sugar. The vibrant lemon filling provides a good source of vitamin C, while meringue adds protein from the egg whites. However, its high sugar content in the curd and meringue, along with the saturated fats in the crust, make this dessert best enjoyed in moderation. Lemon meringue pie is prized for its balance of tangy and sweet flavors, making it a refreshing and indulgent treat.
