About Digestives

Digestives are a type of semi-sweet biscuit originating from the United Kingdom, traditionally made with whole wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oil, and baking soda. First developed in the 19th century, they were initially designed to aid digestion due to their inclusion of bicarbonate of soda, though this claim is not scientifically supported. Digestives are popular in British cuisine and enjoyed worldwide, often paired with tea or used as a base for desserts like cheesecakes. Nutritionally, digestives are a source of dietary fiber, especially when made with whole grain flour, which can support healthy digestion. However, they are moderately high in calories, sugar, and saturated fat, making them a less ideal choice for frequent consumption if aiming to maintain a balanced diet. While digestives provide an indulgent treat and a small energy boost, they are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a varied and mindful eating plan.
