About Pasteis de nata
Pastéis de Nata, or Portuguese custard tarts, are a popular treat originating from Portugal. These small, flaky pastries consist of a rich egg yolk custard baked within a buttery puff pastry shell, creating a creamy, caramelized center. Traditional recipes include simple ingredients such as eggs, sugar, milk, flour, and butter, reflecting their roots in monastery kitchens in the 18th century. While delicious, they are high in sugar, saturated fats, and refined carbohydrates, contributing to their indulgent nature. The custard provides some protein from eggs and the milk offers calcium, but the nutritional balance skews heavily toward treats rather than everyday snacks. Moderation is key when enjoying these pastries, as they’re best considered an occasional indulgence rather than a regular part of a healthy diet. A favorite around Europe and beyond, Pastéis de Nata encapsulate the rich culinary heritage of Portugal in every bite.
