About Low carb croissant

A low-carb croissant is a modified version of the classic French pastry, designed to be lower in carbohydrates while retaining the flaky texture and buttery flavor. Traditional croissants originated in Austria but gained popularity and refinement in France, becoming a staple in French cuisine. Low-carb variants often substitute wheat flour with alternatives like almond flour or coconut flour, and may use sugar substitutes such as erythritol or stevia. Nutritionally, these croissants are lower in total carbohydrates and higher in fat, making them suitable for ketogenic or low-carb diets. They contain moderate levels of protein, depending on the recipe, and often include fiber from alternative flours, contributing to satiety and digestive health.
