About Pastry roll

Pastry rolls are a baked food product typically made from wheat flour, butter, water, and eggs, often filled with sweet or savory ingredients. Believed to have originated in Europe, pastry rolls are popular in French, Austrian, and Danish cuisines, among others. Nutritionally, they are high in carbohydrates and fats due to their primary ingredients. They may provide quick energy but often lack significant vitamins or minerals unless enriched or filled with nutrient-rich components such as fruits, nuts, or vegetables. Homemade versions may be adjusted for dietary needs, while pre-made varieties can range in nutritional value based on processing and added ingredients.

• Pastry rolls provide a quick source of energy due to their carbohydrate content, which is derived from wheat flour.
