About Strawberry poptart
Strawberry Pop-Tarts are a breakfast pastry produced by Kellogg’s, introduced in 1964 in the United States. These toaster pastries contain a sweet strawberry-flavored filling encased in a thin pastry crust, often topped with icing or sprinkles. Culturally, they are associated with convenience foods and are primarily consumed in Western cuisine. A standard serving (one pastry, 52g) provides approximately 200 calories, 2g of protein, 37g of carbohydrates, including 15g of sugar, and 2.5g of fat. While they provide trace amounts of some vitamins and minerals like iron (4% Daily Value) due to fortification, they are also high in added sugars and calories, making them a treat rather than a nutritional staple.
