About Baguette with butter
A baguette with butter is a classic French staple, widely enjoyed for its simplicity and flavor. Originating in France, the baguette is a long, crispy bread traditionally made with a simple dough of flour, water, yeast, and salt. When paired with butter, it combines carbohydrates from the bread and fats from the butter, offering a satisfying energy source. A 60g piece of baguette with 10g of butter provides roughly 230 calories, 8g of fat, 34g of carbohydrates, and 5g of protein. While it is a flavorful choice, it is relatively low in fiber, vitamins, and minerals compared to whole grain options or vegetable-rich meals and should be consumed as part of a balanced diet.
Health Benefits
- The carbohydrates in baguette provide a quick source of energy, necessary for physical and mental tasks.
- Butter contains fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A, which supports eye health and immune function.
- The protein in the baguette (from flour) aids in muscle repair and maintenance.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
To keep the baguette fresh, store it in a paper bag at room temperature for up to 2 days. Butter should be refrigerated in an airtight container to prevent spoilage.

How does baguette with butter compare to whole grain bread with butter?
