Although it is out of stock in all hypermarkets and supermarkets, its price is around 1.98 euros. They are expected to restock fairly quickly, though they haven’t expected such a good reception since they launched the Bimbo Bagels.
Ingredients and nutritional value
Although it is understood that this fusion of bread and croissant It is not the healthiest, it is interesting to know its ingredients to know what it is made of. In this case, Croapán is composed of «Wheat flour, water, vegetable fat (palm), anhydrous butter (5.6%), vegetable agent (rapeseed), sugar, active wheat sourdough (5.2%), yeast, salt, emulsifiers (E322, E471 ), wheat starch, preservatives (E282, E202), acidifier (E330), active wheat sourdough, aroma, carrot extract, flour treatment agent (E300)«.
As for the nutrients, for every 100 grams of Croapán we find:
- Energy: 393 calories
- Fat: 23 grams
- Saturated fat: 13 grams
- Carbohydrates: 38 grams
- Protein: 7.6 grams
- Salt: 1.4 grams
As expected, carbohydrates are the main protagonists of this product. In addition, it contains low-quality vegetable fats (palm oil) and a 7% is sugar. All this means that for 100 grams we consume almost 400 calories, without having added anything yet.
It is healthy?
After knowing the ingredients and their nutritional labeling, Cruapán does not pass the filters of healthy or recommended product. As we said before, for every 100 grams it gives us almost 400 calories without filling. If we add to this a cocoa cream or an avocado filling with smoked salmon, the calories and fat rise without realizing it.
It is impossible to say that it does not taste good or that it does not taste delicious. These types of products specialize in being hyperpalatable in order to be liked by most people and ensure that they sell more. The same goes for potato chips. However, a homemade croissant might be a better option to take a sandwich in a different way. This way we make sure that the fats used are healthy and we can use wholemeal flour to make it richer in fiber.
As expected, Croapán does not pass the cut to become a healthy product. However, we can try it and consume it in moderation to satisfy our craving.
