About Croissants, butter
The butter croissant is the flaky, crescent-shaped pastry that's the pride of a French bakery — made by folding butter into dough over and over to create dozens of delicate, shattering layers. Light, rich and buttery, it's breakfast as a small luxury.
All those layers come from a lot of butter, which makes the croissant calorie-dense and high in fat (much of it saturated), on a base of refined white flour. It's low in fiber and not a source of much beyond carbohydrate and fat — a pastry, not a wholesome breakfast.
A good croissant is a genuine pleasure, best enjoyed fresh and for what it is — a buttery treat rather than an everyday breakfast, however tempting the bakery window.
