Sandesh is a traditional Indian sweet, originating from Bengal, known for its soft texture and delicate flavor. It is primarily made from fresh paneer (chhana) and sugar, often flavored with cardamom, saffron, or rose water, and occasionally garnished with nuts or dried fruits. High in protein due to its paneer base, Sandesh offers some nutritional benefits, including calcium, which supports bone health. However, its sugar content can make it calorie-dense, and consumption should be moderated for those watching their sugar intake. Typically enjoyed during festivals and celebrations, Sandesh is a symbol of Bengali culinary artistry. While its simplicity makes it easy to prepare, variations may include additional ingredients that influence its nutritional profile. It’s best enjoyed as an occasional treat within a balanced diet.
