A sweet airy dessert that does not spoil your figure and does not harm your health. Is this a mystical delicacy or a real delicacy? It turns out that this is the most common and typical product for any confectionery - marshmallow.
Benefit and only benefit
Why is this confectionery miracle so praised? And how can it benefit the body? And can you get better from it? All these questions relate to the airy and unusually tasty product - marshmallow.
The base for the production of marshmallows is a substance produced from algae with the mysterious name agar-agar. Some recipes for the preparation of this sweetness use pectin or gelatin. Agar-agar and pectin are vegetable derivatives, gelatin is of animal origin. With their help, egg whites, sugar and fruit components bind together and retain the shape and delicate texture of the delicacy.
Plain white or pink marshmallows are produced in the form of a double shell. The delicacy covered with a layer of chocolate retains the same shape. A shortbread cookie or a light biscuit can serve as a substrate.
In any form, this airy product does not contain any special calorie content. Rather, all the calories will be contained in its supplements (cookies, chocolate).
The main constituent of marshmallow is carbohydrates and proteins. The delicacy is quickly absorbed and completely broken down, giving up all the energy. Therefore, its use does not harm the figure at all, unlike other sweets. Ladies who are wary of adding extra kilograms to their forms can not be afraid of this dessert and fully enjoy its delicate taste and tenderness.
The beneficial pectin contained in marshmallows helps to remove harmful toxins and strengthens the body, increasing its resistance to harmful substances. And the glucose obtained from sugar nourishes and saturates brain cells, enhances brain activity.
Engaging in mental work, you can allow yourself to eat an airy dessert in short breaks. Not only will it be fun, but it will also help activate your brain cells to work more productively in a good mood.
And what is the harm?
First of all, marshmallows should not be consumed by diabetics because of the glucose it contains (a sugar derivative). Also, those who have an allergic reaction to one of the components of the treat should treat this product with caution. And a simple overeating of marshmallows does not bode well. Overloading the body with glucose can cause diathesis and other consequences.
When choosing an airy marshmallow, you need to check the date of its release and pay attention to the form of its storage. A stale, shriveled product will not only not bring pleasure, but also upset digestion.
