Puff Pastry

Puff Pastry is a laminated pastry common in French and European baking, known for its many thin, flaky layers that puff up when baked and are used for both sweet and savory tarts, turnovers and vol-au-vents. It is energy-dense and rich in fat — about 558kcal per 100 g — which is why a small portion gives a lot of calories. While puff pastry contributes some protein and contains butter-derived fats that give it its characteristic texture and flavor, it is not a significant source of fiber or micronutrients and is best enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced diet.
