Zefir (Зефир) is a type of soft confectionery made by whipping fruit and berry purée with sugar and egg whites with subsequent addition of a gelling agent like pectin, carrageenan, agar, or gelatine. It is produced in the countries of the former Soviet Union. Zefir is derived from the traditional Russian pastila confectionery, but with added egg white foam and a gelling agent.
