About Tartelette

A tartelette is a small pastry, typically originating from French cuisine, designed to serve as an individual-sized tart.

The nutritional profile largely depends on the filling, but most tartelettes contain significant proportions of carbohydrates due to their pastry base, and varying levels of fats and protein. A typical sweet fruit tartelette consists of approximately 294 calories per serving, including 3.5g of protein, 41.1g of carbs, and 11.8g of fat, with small amounts of calcium and iron. However, vitamin content, particularly Vitamin C or D, is often minimal unless fortified or fruit-filled.
