Chef’s note
Healthy option:
A regular croissant (made of white flour) procures about 230 calories and 12 g of lipids. In comparison, a whole wheat croissant procures 200 calories and 10 g of lipids. The whole wheat croissant sustains more than the original version since it procures more fibres (2 g instead of 1 g). An adult should eat normally 25 g of fibres each day. These help with weight management, intestinal regularity, and lower cholesterol while increasing satiety.
