About White sauce
White sauce, also known as béchamel, is a creamy, versatile base sauce originating from French cuisine. It consists of a simple blend of butter, flour, and milk, cooked together to create a smooth, velvety texture. Often seasoned with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, it serves as the foundation for many dishes, such as lasagna, casseroles, and gratins. Nutritionally, white sauce is a source of calcium and energy, thanks to its milk and butter content, but it’s also high in saturated fats and calories, making portion control important. Modifications, like using low-fat milk or plant-based alternatives, can make it a lighter choice. As a comforting classic, white sauce remains a staple in both traditional and modern cooking for its simplicity and rich flavor.
