The croissant is a flaky, buttery pastry originating from French cuisine, celebrated for its delicate texture and crescent shape. Made from a laminated dough consisting of flour, water, sugar, salt, yeast, and generous layers of butter, the croissant achieves its signature layers through repeated folding and rolling. While beloved for its rich flavor and delightful crispness, it is relatively high in calories and saturated fat due to its butter content. Croissants provide small amounts of crucial nutrients like carbohydrates for energy and protein from the dough, but they are low in fiber and essential vitamins. Moderation is key when enjoying this indulgent treat, as excessive consumption can contribute to weight gain or imbalanced nutrition. Perfectly paired with coffee or fruit for breakfast, croissants remain a symbol of culinary artistry and a simple pleasure in international and French dining.
