A waffle is a kind of pancake made from flour, water, baking powder, oil, and eggs; but how many nutrients does a waffle have?
Waffles can be made with a waffle iron that contains hot metal plates; these iron plates give different sizes and shapes to the waffle. They can also be made fresh or sold frozen. There are various types of waffles including Galettes, Stroopwafel, Gofri, Scandinavian, Kue gapit, croffle, pandan, Belgian, American, and many others. The best time to eat waffles is for breakfast or brunch. Waffles initially originated from France and Belgium. The word 'waffle' was derived from the Dutch word ‘wafel’. In American waffles, baking powder is used to leaven the waffles. In Belgium and France, however, the waffles are leavened using yeast. Waffles are most commonly eaten for breakfast. Many people like to top their waffles with maple syrup, butter, chocolate chips, apple butter, honey, jam, peanut butter, chocolate spread, whipped cream, powdered sugar, or fruit (bananas, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, and others).
Waffles have even been mentioned in poems dating back to the 12th century, and even earlier. In the early days, waffles were sold at fairs and religious festivals as street food. A waffle contains nutrients such as calories, protein, carbs, sugar, total fat, dietary fiber, sodium, folic acid, calcium, potassium, vitamin C, thiamine, cholesterol, riboflavin, niacin, saturated fats, and more.
