About Baguett

A baguette is a long, thin loaf of French bread that originated in France and is a staple of French cuisine. It is crafted from simple ingredients including flour, water, yeast, and salt, and traditionally characterized by its crispy crust and soft interior. Nutritionally, a standard serving (approximately 100 grams) of baguette contains 270 calories, 9 grams of protein, 57 grams of carbohydrates, and 1 gram of fat. While it provides energy largely through carbohydrates, it contains modest amounts of protein and trace minerals such as iron. Its low fiber content makes it less filling compared to whole grain breads. The baguette is widely enjoyed as a complement to meals or as a base for sandwiches due to its versatile flavor and texture.
