About Bonbons
Bonbons are small confections originating from France, where the term 'bonbon' means 'good-good.' These sweet treats are typically made using sugar, chocolate, or fondant, and occasionally include fruit, nuts, or other fillings. Widely enjoyed in various European cuisines as well as globally, bonbons are considered indulgent snacks or dessert items. Nutritionally, bonbons are primarily composed of simple carbohydrates, offering around 400 calories per 100 grams, with high sugar content (83 g per 100 g) and negligible amounts of protein, fiber, and fats. They do not provide significant levels of essential vitamins or minerals. Bonbons are generally considered an occasional treat rather than a source of balanced nutrition.
Health Benefits
- Quick source of energy due to high sugar content, providing fast fuel for physical exertion.
- Enjoyment of sweet flavors can contribute to occasional psychological comfort and pleasure.
- May be fortified with fillings like dark chocolate or nuts for trace amounts of antioxidants or healthy fats (depending on variety).
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store bonbons in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent melting or spoilage. For extended freshness, they can be kept in an airtight container.
