About Polvoron
Polvoron is a crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth Filipino shortbread made from toasted all-purpose flour, powdered milk, sugar, and butter, often molded into small discs or ovals. This sweet treat, which originated from Spanish polvorones, is a popular snack and gift item in the Philippines, with modern variations featuring flavors like ube, pinipig (puffed rice), and chocolate. While Polvoron is rich in flavor, it is also calorie-dense due to its high sugar content and butter base, making it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. It provides some calcium from the powdered milk and energy from carbohydrates, but it is low in fiber and other nutrients. Polvoron is beloved for its simple preparation and indulgent taste, representing a fusion of Filipino ingenuity and Spanish influence.
