About Croissant

The croissant is a buttery, flaky pastry originating from French cuisine, celebrated for its crescent shape and delicate texture. Made with layers of dough and butter, it undergoes a meticulous process known as laminating, which creates its signature airy structure. Traditional ingredients include flour, butter, sugar, yeast, and milk. While croissants are rich in flavor and provide quick energy from carbohydrates, their high content of saturated fats and calories comes from the substantial amount of butter used. They are a good source of iron and some B vitamins due to the enriched flour, but moderation is key when enjoying this treat. Pairing a croissant with protein-rich foods like eggs or adding whole-grain varieties can enhance its nutritional balance. As an iconic part of French breakfast culture, croissants offer indulgence and tradition in every bite.
