Digestive cookies, originating from the United Kingdom, are semi-sweet biscuits traditionally made from whole wheat flour, sugar, and butter. Their name derives from their early 19th-century development, when they were believed to aid digestion due to the inclusion of bicarbonate of soda. These cookies often feature a light, crumbly texture with a subtly sweet, nutty flavor, making them a popular accompaniment to tea or coffee. Nutritionally, digestive cookies are higher in fiber compared to some other biscuits, thanks to the use of whole grains. They can provide a modest source of energy and satisfy small hunger pangs. However, they also contain added sugars, fats, and calories, so moderation is key. Modern variations may include oats, dark chocolate coatings, or reduced-sugar options, adding diversity to their appeal. While not a health food, digestive cookies can be enjoyed as an occasional treat within a balanced diet.
