About Slice of pie
A slice of pie typically refers to a portion of a baked dessert made from a crust and filling. Originating in the cuisines of Europe and evolving globally, pies have diverse fillings such as fruit, custard, or savory ingredients. Common in American baking traditions, pies can be homemade or purchased. Nutritional profiles vary widely based on type; for instance, a fruit pie slice may provide dietary fiber from fruit and carbohydrates from sugar and flour, while cream pies are higher in fats. Generally, pies are energy-dense, averaging 200-400 calories per slice depending on ingredients and serving size.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy from carbohydrates found in the crust and filling.
- May offer dietary fiber if made with fruit fillings such as apples, berries, or cherries.
- Contains some essential vitamins such as vitamin C from fruit fillings, which support immune health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store pie slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Freezing is suitable for longer storage; wrap slices individually and freeze for up to 2 months.
Common Questions About Slice of pie Nutrition
How many calories and nutrients are in a slice of pie?
A slice of pie typically contains around 250-400 calories depending on the type (e.g., fruit-filled or cream-based). It usually includes 3-4 grams of protein and 12-20 grams of fat, with higher sugar content ranging from 20-40 grams per serving. Nutritional values can vary greatly based on the recipe and ingredients.
Can I eat a slice of pie on a keto diet?
Most traditional pies are high in carbohydrates due to the crust and sweet fillings, making them unsuitable for a keto diet. However, keto-friendly pie recipes using almond flour crusts and sugar substitutes can be a compatible option.
Are there any health concerns with eating a slice of pie?
Many pies are high in sugar, saturated fat, and calories, which can contribute to weight gain and metabolic issues when consumed excessively. Those with gluten intolerance or allergies should also check for wheat-based crusts unless a gluten-free alternative is specified.
How much pie should I eat in one serving?
A standard serving size is one slice, typically 1/8th of a 9-inch pie. This portion size balances enjoyment with moderation to avoid excessive calorie and sugar intake, especially for dessert pies.
How does a slice of pie compare to other desserts like cake or cookies?
Slice of pie generally has a higher percentage of fruit-based ingredients (e.g., apple, cherry) compared to cake or cookies, which can add fiber and micronutrients like vitamin C. However, pies often contain more saturated fat from buttery crusts or creamy fillings compared to cookies, which are usually higher in added sugar.
