About Wafer rolls

Wafer rolls are thin, cylindrical pastries typically made from flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and milk, originating from European cuisines where they are known as treats or dessert accompaniments. These crispy rolls are often filled with cream, chocolate, or other flavored fillings, enhancing their enjoyment as snacks or desserts. Their nutritional profile depends largely on the ingredients and fillings used.

While delicious, their nutrient density is relatively low, making them best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
