About Pain

Pain, simply the French word for "bread," is a culinary staple with roots in French gastronomy but embraced across the world. Traditional pain is made from flour, water, yeast, and salt, forming the foundation for countless variations. Nutritional content depends on the type of flour and added ingredients—whole grain options offer more fiber and nutrients, whereas white varieties are lower in these. As a source of carbohydrates, pain provides quick energy but can lead to spikes in blood sugar when made with refined flour. While versatile and delicious, moderation is key, as overly processed breads may contain added sugars or preservatives. French loaves like baguettes or pains de campagne showcase artistry with simple, natural ingredients, while enriched versions, such as brioche, feature additional butter and sugar. Pain can be part of a balanced diet, ideally paired with wholesome accompaniments like lean proteins, healthy fats, or fresh vegetables.
