About Almond biscuit

Almond biscuits are a sweet, crispy snack commonly enjoyed in European, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern cuisines. These small biscuits typically combine almond flour or ground almonds with eggs, sugar, and sometimes butter, creating a nutrient-dense treat. Almonds, the primary ingredient, contribute healthy fats, plant-based protein, and dietary fiber. With moderate carbohydrate content, almond biscuits offer a tasty alternative to traditional wheat flour-based pastries, especially for those looking to incorporate more nutrient-rich ingredients into their diet. Although high in calories due to almonds, they provide valuable micronutrients such as vitamin E, magnesium, and a variety of antioxidants.
