About Digestive biscuit

Digestive biscuits are classic semi-sweet British cookies, originally developed in the 19th century to aid digestion. They are made primarily from whole wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oils, and sometimes a small amount of malt extract or baking soda. Their high fiber content from whole grain flour makes them a popular choice for supporting gut health and promoting satiety. While they are moderately sweet, digestive biscuits typically contain less sugar than many other cookies, making them a balanced snack option. However, they do have a notable fat content due to the inclusion of oils, which should be considered for those monitoring caloric intake. Often enjoyed with tea or coffee, these biscuits have become a staple in British cuisine and are appreciated worldwide for their simple taste and versatility in recipes, such as creating cheesecake bases or pairing with spreads.
