LESSON

Sweets were fed to the Gods in ancient Mesopotamia and other ancient
civilizations. Dried fruits and honey were the first sweeteners until the spread
of sugarcane affects the development of desserts.
The word “dessert” originated from the French term desservir which means
“to clear the table”.
Dessert is a course that is given as a conclusion to the meal. It is consisting
of sweet foods in a form of confections, beverage such as dessert wine and
liqueur.
Dessert foods often contain relatively high amount of fats and sugar which
results to higher calorie count as compared to other foods.
Reasons for eating desserts and sweets:
• Desserts give an extra flavor and texture which you do not get in
vegetables, meats, eggs, and fruits.
• Desserts can give an opportunity to become artistic through creating
designs and innovation using sweet treats.
