Useful sweets ... Do they really exist? It turns out yes! Contrary to the theory that sugar and its derivatives are of no use! In practice, living without sweets is quite difficult. According to nutritionists, one of the relatively healthy sweets is marshmallows.
This unusual airy delicacy was invented in Russia. Merchant Prokhorov Ambrose is considered its inventor. At that time, the delicacy was called Belevsky, in honor of the town in which the merchant lived. Everyone liked marshmallows - from ordinary people to members of royal and royal families. At that time, the merchant even published a book that described tips for its preparation.
Marshmallows are useful in that there are practically no fats in it, and there are jelly-forming components that have a beneficial effect on the body. In addition, this delicacy is good because it has few calories. The composition of the right marshmallows is applesauce, egg whites, sugar and jelly-forming additives (pectin or agar-agar).
The latter substance is able to normalize the liver and intestines, removes toxins and perfectly affects the thyroid gland. It is produced on the basis of algae. The agar-agar contains a lot of useful trace elements - calcium, iron, copper, potassium, iodine, as well as vitamins B5 and E. It is also useful for the health of hair, nails and skin integuments. It has no taste, so marshmallows based on it do not give acidity, as it happens if pectin is used in the manufacture. In addition, a treat containing agar-agar has a denser consistency.
Pectin improves blood circulation and removes heavy metal salts from the body. It also lowers blood cholesterol.
Calories in marshmallows are present in a small amount (only 300 Kcal per 100 grams), which allows us to consider this product as low-calorie. Thanks to this, many girls who are on diets, instead of cakes and sweets, can afford to enjoy this sweetness. Low calorie content and beneficial properties make the use of this product doubly enjoyable. Even marshmallows in chocolate can be considered low-calorie. After all, in 100 gr. classic product contains 396 kcal, 2.2 g. protein, 12.3 gr. fat, 68.7 gr. carbohydrates.
Due to its carbohydrate richness, chocolate marshmallows are present in the diets of athletes, physical and mental drummers, as well as lovers of dietary products. It is also a powerful source of glucose. Therefore, it is not recommended to use it together with other sweets in order to avoid high blood sugar.
Chocolate marshmallows are also allowed in kindergartens. That says a lot. After all, such organizations relate to the composition and quality of food with special attention.
However, everything is good in moderation. Therefore, do not rush to destroy a pack of marshmallows in one sitting. After all, it will be useful only if you consume 1 or 2 pieces a day.
Marshmallow is not recommended for people who are obese, as well as those who are allergic to the components that are in its composition. In addition, do not forget that excessive consumption threatens the appearance of caries.
But still, despite a few contraindications, marshmallow in chocolate has many desired properties. Therefore, such a sweetness can be considered not only tasty, but also healthy!
