About Pineapple tart
Pineapple tart is a popular pastry originating from Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia and Indonesia, where it is often served during festive occasions like Chinese New Year or Hari Raya. These bite-sized treats consist of a buttery, soft pastry base filled with sweet pineapple jam made from caramelized pineapple. Nutritionally, pineapple tarts are high in carbohydrates due to their sugar and flour content. Pineapple provides small amounts of vitamin C and manganese, though these nutrients can be significantly reduced during the cooking process. The pastry base is rich in fats from butter or margarine, making pineapple tarts a calorie-dense snack best enjoyed in moderation.
Health Benefits
- Rich in quick energy due to carbohydrate content, which can provide a quick boost.
- Pineapple contributes trace amounts of vitamin C, supporting immune health.
- Contains manganese from pineapple, aiding metabolic and bone health.
Dietary Considerations
