💎 Key Nutrients
What Is a Pastelito de Guava?
A pastelito de guava is a pastry filled with sweet guava paste, commonly served as a snack or dessert in Caribbean and Latin American food traditions. The database entry represents a typical single pastry, not every bakery recipe. Puff pastry, laminated dough, guava filling and glaze can change the weight and nutrition of an individual piece.
Nutrition per One 86 g Pastry
The USDA record lists 326 calories, 41 g carbohydrate, 16 g total fat and 5 g protein for one approximately 86 g pastry. It also contains 15 g total sugars, 2 g fiber, 5 g saturated fat, 2 g trans fat and 199 mg sodium. Recorded micronutrients include 1.8 mg iron, 12 mg calcium, 90 mg potassium and 11 mcg vitamin K.
How Size Changes the Estimate
The reference is one pastry at about 86 g. If a bakery piece is 43 g and has a similar recipe, a half-piece estimate would be approximately 163 calories, 20.5 g carbohydrate, 8 g fat and 2.5 g protein. A larger or heavily glazed pastry will not follow this estimate exactly; use its actual weight or package label when available.
Sugar, Fat and Trans Fat
The recorded 15 g total sugars come from the pastry and sweet guava filling, while the 16 g fat reflects the pastry itself and its preparation. The entry lists 2 g trans fat, an unusually important value to notice when comparing database records or labels. This page reports the number as stored and does not assume that all modern bakery recipes have the same fat profile.
Pairing and Storage
A pastelito is best treated as a dessert or snack portion rather than as a complete meal. Pairing it with unsweetened coffee, tea or fresh fruit changes the meal context but does not reduce the pastry's listed values. Store bakery pastries according to the bakery's instructions; discard any piece with visible mold or an off odor, and do not use this page to infer the shelf life of a filled pastry from another recipe.
