About Nougat
Nougat is a confection traditionally made from sugar or honey, roasted nuts like almonds, hazelnuts, or pistachios, and often whipped egg whites for a light, airy texture. Originating in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, nougat can be found in variations like French "nougat de Montélimar," Italian "torrone," and Spanish "turrón." While nougat is rich in flavor and provides some nutritional benefits from its nut content, such as healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, its high sugar concentration makes it a treat best enjoyed sparingly. Variants may also include dried fruits or chocolate for added texture. Some nougat recipes are soft and chewy, while others are hard and brittle, catering to diverse preferences. Although not typically a health food, the nuts used offer antioxidant and heart-health properties, making nougat a blend of indulgence with small nutritional positives.
