Biscotti biscuits are traditional Italian cookies known for their crunchy texture and long shelf life. Originating from the Tuscan region, biscotti were initially baked as durable snacks for travelers and soldiers. Made with simple ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and often almonds or other nuts, they are typically baked twice—once as a loaf and then sliced into pieces for a second bake—to achieve their iconic crispness. While biscotti are low in fat, their sugar content can be notable, and the addition of chocolate or sugary coatings in some variations may increase calorie levels. However, the inclusion of nuts adds healthy fats, protein, and fiber to the recipe, offering some nutritional value. Ideal as a light treat when paired with coffee or tea, biscotti can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet without compromising flavor or tradition.
