Retail shortcrust pastry is a flour-based pastry made with fat. The figures here describe uncooked frozen and chilled products, sold as blocks or ready rolled. It mainly provides carbohydrate and fat: per 100g, it contains 39g of carbohydrate and 31g of fat, including 12g of saturated fat. Its energy content is 1889 kJ per 100g.

Carbohydrate and fat both supply energy for the body. The fat and saturated fat content are worth noting for people monitoring their energy or saturated fat intake. These figures apply to the uncooked pastry alone; cooking and any added fillings will affect the nutritional content of the finished dish. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
