A digestive biscuit is a semi-sweet biscuit that originated in the United Kingdom. It is made from wholemeal flour, sugar, and a small amount of fat, often with added baking soda. These biscuits are known for their crumbly texture and slightly sweet, nutty flavor, making them a popular choice for tea time. Digestive biscuits are often enjoyed on their own or used as a base for desserts, such as cheesecakes. They are also sometimes paired with toppings like chocolate or jam. Due to their high fiber content, they are often marketed as a healthier snack option compared to other biscuits.
