A croissant is a buttery, flaky pastry that originated in France, inspired by Austrian pastries. Made primarily from layered dough and butter, its signature texture comes from laminating the dough to create delicate, crisp layers. Traditional croissants contain wheat flour, yeast, milk, eggs, sugar, and a generous amount of butter, giving them their rich flavor and golden appearance. While croissants are an iconic treat in French cuisine, they are considered indulgent rather than nutritious due to their high butter content and refined carbohydrates. They provide a quick energy source from carbohydrates but are low in fiber and high in saturated fats, which can contribute to excess calorie intake when consumed in large quantities. Despite this, croissants can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, especially when paired with nutrient-rich accompaniments like fruit or yogurt.
