About Cresent roll
Crescent rolls, a soft and flaky pastry, are believed to have originated in Austria as part of the Viennoiserie tradition but are widely associated today with French cuisine. Made from enriched dough similar to that of croissants, they are rolled into a crescent shape before baking. Crescent rolls commonly include ingredients such as flour, sugar, butter, milk, and yeast. They are a concentrated source of carbohydrates, providing quick energy, with moderate amounts of fat and protein. A serving size of one roll typically contains approximately 100-150 calories, 4-6 grams of fat, 2-3 grams of protein, and 12-15 grams of carbohydrates, depending on preparation or brand. Vitamins and minerals in crescent rolls generally stem from fortified flours and include small amounts of iron and B vitamins like folate and thiamine.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy due to its carbohydrate content, making it a convenient pre-workout snack.
- Contains B vitamins like thiamine and folate from enriched flour, which support energy metabolism and red blood cell production.
- Iron content from fortified flour supports oxygen transportation in the bloodstream, essential for physical and cognitive performance.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store crescent rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze fully-baked rolls in a sealed bag for up to 3 months.
