Did you know?
Macaroons originated from Italy in the 9th century, made by monks and spread across Europe.
They are traditionally made with just three ingredients: egg whites, sugar, and coconut.
Often eaten during Passover because they contain no flour or leavening agents.
French macarons are completely different: they’re made with almond flour and filled with ganache or buttercream.
Drawbacks ⚠️
High in sugar, which can contribute to energy crashes and blood sugar spikes.
Contains saturated fats from coconut, which may affect heart health if overconsumed.
Low in protein, so it doesn’t offer much nutritional balance.
