Gingerbread is a type of bread that is made from flour, water, yeast and a mixture of spices. It is known for its soft and fragrant texture, and for its spicy and slightly sweet flavor. Gingerbread is rich in carbohydrates and protein, and it is also a source of dietary fiber. Depending on the type of flour used, it can also be a source of vitamins and minerals, in particular group B and iron vitamins. However, it is important to choose gingerbread made with complete flours to make the most of its nutritional benefits.
