About Peanut tart

Peanut Tart is a sweet and nutty dessert with origins in Caribbean cuisine, particularly popular in Trinidad and Tobago. This pastry features a crisp, buttery tart shell filled with caramelized peanuts coated in a rich blend of brown sugar, molasses, and spices. The peanuts are the star ingredient, offering a protein-packed and fiber-rich base, along with heart-healthy fats. However, the tart's high sugar content and use of refined flour make it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. Its combination of textures—crunchy nuts and flaky crust—makes it a delightful indulgence. Peanuts also provide essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium. While not a low-calorie food, Peanut Tart offers a satisfying dessert option that highlights the fusion of flavors emblematic of Caribbean culture.
