Croissant

Croissant is a classic French laminated pastry known for its flaky, buttery layers and is commonly eaten at breakfast or as a snack. It is made from enriched wheat flour, butter (or fat), yeast and sugar and is prized for its crisp exterior and soft, airy interior. Nutritionally, a typical Croissant is energy-dense and relatively high in fat—about 21g of fat per 100g—with a notable portion as saturated fat; it also provides refined carbohydrates and modest amounts of protein and some B-vitamins from enriched flour. From a health perspective, Croissant is best enjoyed occasionally: it delivers a pleasant source of energy and some protein quality but is relatively low in fiber and is typically a highly processed, high-fat baked good rather than a nutrient-dense staple.
