Tag: High fiber biscuits

Some of the original 'digestive' biscuits were developed in the 19th century specifically to aid digestion with their whole wheat and baking soda composition. These early innovations highlight a long-standing understanding that certain biscuits, particularly those rich in dietary fiber, can be a beneficial part of a strategy to alleviate or prevent constipation.

According to the National Health Service, most plain, store-bought biscuits contain very little dietary fiber, often less than one gram per serving. This raises the question: do biscuits have any fiber at all? While traditional recipes, reliant on refined white flour, offer minimal fiber, modern variations made with whole grains or added fiber sources can provide a notable boost.
