About Speculos

Speculoos is a spiced biscuit originating from Belgium and the Netherlands, traditionally enjoyed around the holiday season. It is made from ingredients such as wheat flour, sugar, butter, and a warm blend of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. This biscuit's deep caramelized flavor and crisp texture are achieved through a unique baking process. While its spices provide some antioxidant properties, Speculoos is high in sugar and saturated fat, making it a treat best consumed in moderation. Popular variations include Speculoos spread, which also contains added oils and sugars. A beloved staple in European cuisine, its irresistible flavor has made its way around the globe as a dessert accompaniment and snack. Though not a source of significant nutrition, it provides a delightful indulgence for festive occasions. As with all sweets, balancing consumption within a healthy diet is key.
