Chef’s note
Healthy option:
A normal croissant (made of white flour) procures about 230 calories and 12 g of lipids, when a whole wheat croissant procures 200 calories and 10 g of lipids. Compared to the original version, whole wheat croissant sustains more, since it procures more fibers (2 g instead of 1 g). An adult should eat normaly 25 g of fibers each day. These helps for weight management, intestinal regularity as well as lower cholesterol while increasing satiety.
