Did you know?
The French macaron is not to be confused with the macaroon—they are entirely different desserts!
Catherine de’ Medici is often credited with introducing the macaron to France in the 1500s.
Modern macarons became popular in Paris in the early 1900s, especially thanks to pastry houses like Ladurée.
They are made using the “macaronage” technique, which involves carefully folding meringue and almond flour to get the perfect texture.
Drawbacks ⚠️
High in sugar, which can contribute to blood sugar spikes and energy crashes.
Offers little protein or fiber, making them less satisfying than they appear.
Can contain artificial colors and flavors, especially in mass-produced varieties.
