About Anzac

Anzac biscuits are a traditional treat originating from Australia and New Zealand, with cultural ties to the ANZAC soldiers of World War I. Made from simple pantry ingredients including rolled oats, flour, desiccated coconut, golden syrup, sugar, butter, and baking soda, these biscuits are known for their rich, caramel-like flavor and chewy texture. While oats and coconut provide some fiber and essential nutrients like manganese and selenium, Anzac biscuits are generally high in sugar and saturated fats due to the butter and syrup. As a result, they are best enjoyed in moderation as a sweet snack rather than a health food. Their long shelf life and absence of eggs make them suitable for sustainable storage, a nod to their wartime origins when durability was paramount. Today, Anzac biscuits remain a beloved symbol of remembrance and history, often shared on occasions like Anzac Day in Australia and New Zealand.
