About Digestive buiscits

Digestive biscuits are a popular sweet snack originally developed in Scotland in the 19th century. These round, crumbly cookies are made from simple ingredients including wholemeal flour, sugar, vegetable oil, and a leavening agent like baking soda. Typically enjoyed with tea or coffee, their name comes from the initial belief that their high fiber content and inclusion of baking soda aided digestion. Digestive biscuits are a staple in British cuisine but are widely enjoyed globally. While their fiber content provides some nutritional benefit, they are relatively high in sugar and fat, making them more suitable as an occasional treat than a primary source of nutrition. They can be a convenient option for a satisfying snack, but moderation is key to maintaining a balanced diet.
