Meringue, homemade

Homemade meringue is made by whisking egg whites with sugar and baking the mixture. The recipe described here is without cream. It mainly provides carbohydrate, all of which is sugar, with some protein and only trace amounts of fat. Per 100g, it contains 96g of carbohydrate, 96g of sugars, 6.3g of protein and 1643 kJ of energy.

Sugar provides energy, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. The sugar and energy content are relevant for people monitoring their intake, even though meringue contains very little fat. Adding cream would change its nutritional content. Full nutritional figures for the meringue without cream are in the tables below.
