About Digestive bescuite

Digestive biscuits are a popular semi-sweet snack originating from the United Kingdom, traditionally enjoyed with tea or coffee. Developed in the 19th century, their name derives from the use of baking soda, believed to aid digestion. Made primarily from whole wheat flour, sugar, butter or oil, and sometimes malt extract, these biscuits offer a crunchy texture and slightly nutty flavor. While their fiber content from whole grains may support healthy digestion, their sugar and fat levels make them a source of moderate calories. Digestive biscuits can be a convenient choice for a quick energy boost but are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Variations include chocolate-coated or reduced-sugar options to suit different preferences. They hold a cherished spot in British cuisine, pairing versatility with taste, whether eaten plain, topped with spreads, or used as a base for sweet desserts.
