About Pain au raisins
Pain au raisins, a classic French pastry, originates from the rich tradition of patisserie in France and is a popular breakfast or snack item. It features flaky, buttery layers of viennoiserie dough and is typically filled with pastry cream and sweet raisins. With its indulgent texture and flavor, pain au raisins primarily provides carbohydrates and fats, along with small amounts of protein. It contains essential nutrients like iron from raisins and riboflavin from eggs used in the pastry. However, as with many baked goods, it is calorie-dense due to sugars and fats and should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Health Benefits

- Eggs used in the pastry cream are a source of riboflavin (0.2 mg per large egg), aiding in energy production.
- Butter contributes vitamin A (10% DV per tablespoon), essential for eye health and immune support.
Dietary Considerations
