Pastry, choux, uncooked, homemade

Choux pastry is a dough made with flour, fat, eggs and water, used to make baked pastry shells. These figures describe homemade choux pastry before baking, without any filling or topping. It mainly provides carbohydrate and fat, with some protein. Per 100g, it contains 20g of carbohydrate, 12g of fat, 3.8g of saturated fat and 5.5g of protein.

Carbohydrate and fat provide energy, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. The fat and saturated fat content may be relevant for people monitoring their intake. Baking changes the water content, so these uncooked figures do not directly describe the finished pastry. Fillings and toppings also affect its nutritional content. Full figures are in the tables below.
