Fun Fact

- The word 'Flan' comes from the Old High German word 'Flado' which means 'flat cake'.
Historical Fact
- Like many desserts that we love, flan's existence began during the Roman Empire when excess eggs were transformed into custards to produce both sweet and
savory tastes. - The Spaniards took it and took America where it became a delicacy. And due to the influence of Mexican recipe evolution, it became a sweet staple there.
Nutrition Fact
- Flan is healthier than a cake as the eggs in it provide protein and other nutrients while being low in sugar and calories.
- One serving of flan has 237 calories, 8 g of total fat, and 75mg of cholesterol. Hmm, not so healthy then.
