About Merengue
Merengue is a light, airy dessert made primarily from whipped egg whites and sugar, often baked into crisp confections or used as toppings for pies and cakes. Originating in European cuisine, particularly France and Switzerland, merengue has become a popular treat worldwide. The simplicity of its ingredients makes it naturally low in fat, but its high sugar content can contribute to empty calories if consumed excessively. Egg whites provide a source of protein, but the nutritional value is offset by the sugary sweetness. Merengue is often gluten-free, making it suitable for those with dietary restrictions. While not a health food, it can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet or as a decorative element in desserts. Variations like French, Italian, and Swiss merengue offer different textures and flavors, depending on preparation methods.
