About Digestive biscuits

Digestive biscuits are a popular semi-sweet snack originating from Scotland in the late 19th century, traditionally enjoyed with tea or coffee. Made with a blend of wholemeal wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oil, and sometimes malt extract, these biscuits were originally developed to aid digestion, thanks to their fiber content. While they offer a modest amount of dietary fiber, which can support gut health, digestive biscuits are also relatively high in sugar and saturated fat, making them a less-than-ideal choice for regular consumption if prioritizing health. Modern versions may include additional flavors like chocolate or oats, but the base recipe remains largely the same. Though not a substitute for more fiber-rich alternatives like fruits or whole grains, their versatile nature makes them a convenient snack or ingredient for desserts. Perfect in moderation, they remain a staple in British cuisine and a comforting treat worldwide.
