Nougat is a sweet confection made primarily from sugar or honey, roasted nuts like almonds, hazelnuts, or pistachios, and whipped egg whites, giving it a chewy or sometimes crunchy texture. Originating from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, nougat has been enjoyed for centuries, with variations found in countries like France, Italy, and Spain. While it provides energy through its sugar content and delivers essential nutrients from nuts such as healthy fats, protein, and vitamins, nougat is typically high in calories and added sugars, making it a treat best consumed in moderation. Some artisanal types may include dried fruits or natural flavorings for added appeal. Nougat's versatility makes it a popular ingredient in chocolates and festive desserts, but due to its sweetness, it is not considered a health food. Enjoy it for its decadent flavor rather than its nutritional benefits.
