A croissant is a flaky, buttery pastry originating from French cuisine, celebrated for its crescent shape and airy, layered texture. Made from a yeast-leavened dough enriched with butter, sugar, flour, and milk, the dough is repeatedly folded and rolled to create its signature layers. While croissants are a delicious treat, their nutritional profile leans towards indulgence rather than health. They are rich in fat, primarily from butter, and provide carbohydrates from the flour, making them energy-dense. Though they contain small amounts of protein and may offer iron or B vitamins depending on the flour used, they are high in saturated fat and relatively low in fiber. Best enjoyed in moderation, croissants are often paired with fruit or yogurt for balance or savored as an occasional indulgence in breakfast spreads.
