Zefir is a Russian and Eastern European confection made by whipping fruit or berry purée with sugar and egg whites, then setting the mixture with agar or pectin — distinct from American-style marshmallow despite the shared name. It is typically sold in soft, pillowy halves dusted with powdered sugar and eaten as a standalone sweet or served alongside tea. Per 100 g, zefir marshmallow provides 310 kcal, 2.5 g of protein, 0.2 g of fat and 75 g of carbohydrates, of which 68 g are sugars, with just 0.5 g of dietary fibre. Mineral content is modest, with 50 mg of potassium and 10 mg of calcium per 100 g. No glycemic index value is available for this product. Suitable for vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and low-FODMAP dietary patterns.
How many calories in zefir marshmallow?
Zefir marshmallow contains 310 kcal per 100 g. A single zefir half typically weighs around 20–25 g, putting one piece at roughly 60–75 kcal.
Is zefir marshmallow gluten-free?
Traditional zefir is made without wheat flour, relying on fruit purée, sugar, egg whites and a gelling agent such as agar or pectin, so it is considered gluten-free. Always check the label on commercial products, as manufacturing facilities may handle gluten-containing ingredients.
Is zefir marshmallow healthy?
Zefir marshmallow is a high-sugar confection — 68 g of sugars per 100 g — with 310 kcal and very little protein (2.5 g), fat (0.2 g) or fibre (0.5 g). It provides small amounts of potassium (50 mg) and calcium (10 mg), but its nutritional profile is typical of a sugar-based sweet rather than a nutrient-dense food.
