Macaroons are sweet, chewy confections typically made from shredded coconut, egg whites, sugar, and vanilla. Originating in Italy, macaroons are a staple in many European and Jewish cuisines, often enjoyed during Passover due to their flourless composition. While variations exist, coconut-based macaroons are the most common and are loved for their rich, tropical flavor and satisfying texture. They are naturally gluten-free and offer a source of energy due to their carbohydrate content. Coconut provides small amounts of fiber and essential minerals like manganese. However, macaroons are high in sugar and saturated fat, which may not align with certain dietary goals when consumed in excess. Their small size makes them a good option for portion-controlled indulgence.
