Salt biscuit is a savory baked treat commonly associated with South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Made from simple ingredients such as refined flour, butter, salt, and baking powder, its texture is light and crumbly, perfect as a snack or accompaniment to tea. Some recipes include optional herbs or spices for added flavor. While salt biscuits are celebrated for their satisfying taste and versatility, they are often high in refined carbohydrates and sodium, which may not be ideal for those monitoring salt intake or blood sugar levels. The buttery base also contributes to saturated fat content. However, they are free from added sugars, making them a moderately better option compared to overly sweet snacks. Enjoyed in small portions, salt biscuits can be a delightful treat, but regular consumption should be balanced with nutrient-rich and whole-food options.
