Lemon meringue pie is a classic dessert with origins in European cuisine, particularly popularized in the United States. It features a buttery, shortcrust pastry filled with a tangy lemon custard made from lemon juice, sugar, egg yolks, and sometimes cornstarch for thickening. Topping this bright citrus layer is a fluffy meringue made by whipping egg whites with sugar until they form stiff peaks, then baking until golden. While its zesty lemon filling provides a good dose of vitamin C, the pie is high in sugar, refined flour, and fats, which can make it calorie-rich. The egg whites in the meringue offer some protein, but the dessert is best enjoyed in moderation as a treat rather than a health food.
