Gelato is not just a delicious dessert, it is also a nourishing food. It has high biological protein value, plus high level of minerals and vitamin B. It also contains calcium and phosphorus, fundamental elements for everyone but especially important for children, seniors, pregnant women, and athletes.

Gelato is easier to digest than plain milk, and it can be consumed by diabetics in moderate amounts because the sugars used are largely in the form of saccharose (composed of glucose and fructose) which raises glycemic levels less than a side dish of potatoes.
