The Garibaldi biscuit, often known as the "squashed fly biscuit" due to its appearance, is a traditional British snack renowned for its unique combination of taste and texture. It consists of a thin layer of dried currants or raisins sandwiched between crisp, golden sheets of biscuit dough. Originating in the UK in the mid-19th century, it was named after Italian general Giuseppe Garibaldi. Nutritionally, Garibaldi biscuits offer a modest source of energy and natural sweetness from the dried fruit, which also provides small amounts of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. However, they contain added sugar and refined flour, which may contribute to a high glycemic index. Typically low in fat, they are a lighter choice compared to more indulgent cookies or biscuits. While they can be enjoyed as an occasional snack, moderation is key for those monitoring sugar intake or aiming for a balanced diet.
