About Ginger biscuit

Ginger biscuits are classic sweet treats known for their warm, spicy flavor and crispy texture. Originating from European cuisine, particularly British baking traditions, they are typically made from flour, sugar, butter, and ground ginger, with some recipes including molasses or golden syrup for added richness. The distinctive taste comes from the ginger and often other warming spices like cinnamon or cloves. While ginger itself has anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits, ginger biscuits are generally high in sugar and refined carbohydrates, making them more of an indulgence than a health food. They can be enjoyed as a snack or paired with tea or coffee, and in moderation, they are a delightful occasional treat that highlights the comforting flavors of this aromatic spice.
