Sweets, while delighting the senses with their rich variety of flavours and textures, often offer little in the way of nutritional value, serving more as a treat for the palate than a source of sustenance. Their allure lies in the joy and comfort they bring, despite being high in sugar and calories and low in essential nutrients.
