About Wheat rusk

Wheat Rusk is a twice-baked bread snack, popular in South Asian and European cuisines. Made primarily from refined wheat flour, sugar, ghee or butter, and yeast, it offers a crisp, dry texture ideal for dipping into tea or coffee. While rusks provide some energy due to their carbohydrate content, they are relatively low in essential nutrients. Refined flour may lack the fiber found in whole grains, and added sugars and fats can make them energy-dense, which may not align with weight management or heart-healthy diets. However, some whole wheat rusks are available, offering slightly improved fiber content and digestive benefits. Wheat rusks are loved for their convenience and long shelf life, making them a favored snack for generations. Moderation is key to enjoying this treat within a balanced diet.
