About Garabaldi biscuit

The Garibaldi Biscuit, often referred to as the "squashed fly biscuit" due to its appearance, is a traditional British snack steeped in history. Originating in the UK in the mid-19th century, this thin, rectangular treat consists of layers of currants sandwiched between crisp, golden biscuit dough. Its ingredients typically include wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oils, dried currants, and a dash of salt, making it a sweet yet simple confectionery item. While not particularly nutrient-dense, it offers a modest amount of fiber from the dried fruit and could serve as a small energy boost due to its carbohydrate content. However, its sugar levels may be a concern for those monitoring their intake. Perfect for tea time, the Garibaldi Biscuit is cherished for its balance of light texture and fruity sweetness, celebrating simplicity and historical charm in every bite.
