Pie Crust
Pie Crust is the baked pastry shell commonly used as the base for sweet and savory pies in many cuisines, prized for its flaky, buttery texture and crisp edges. It is relatively energy-dense at 445kcal per 100 g and is typically made from refined flour and fat (butter, shortening, or lard), which gives it that rich mouthfeel. Nutritionally, it provides modest protein but is low in fiber and micronutrient variety compared with whole-grain or vegetable-based bases. In practical terms, Pie Crust is a tasty but calorie-rich vehicle for fillings — swapping to whole-grain, layered phyllo, or nut-based crusts can increase fiber, reduce saturated fat, or add micronutrients and healthier fats while preserving a similar culinary function.
