About Biscoff
Biscoff is a type of spiced caramelized biscuit originating from Belgium, traditionally enjoyed with coffee or tea. Made primarily from wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oil, and cinnamon, it is known for its uniquely sweet and mildly spiced flavor. Biscoff cookies are calorie-dense, with 483.87 calories per 100 grams, derived mainly from carbohydrates (74.19g) and fats (19.35g), while protein content is relatively low (3.23g). They contain minimal to no fiber and modest levels of calcium and iron, thus offering limited micronutrient benefits. Due to their high sugar content, Biscoff is best consumed in moderation as a treat rather than a staple food item.
