About Chocolate cookie crumbs

Chocolate cookie crumbs are finely crushed pieces of chocolate cookies commonly used in baking and desserts such as pie crusts, cheesecake bases, or as a topping for ice cream. Originating from Western cuisine, these crumbs are derived from cookies made with cocoa powder, sugar, flour, and butter, offering a distinctly sweet and chocolatey flavor. Nutritionally, chocolate cookie crumbs are high in carbohydrates, primarily from sugars and refined flour, and also contain small amounts of fats, including saturated fats, depending on the recipe. While they are enjoyable in moderate amounts, their high caloric content and low nutrient density should be considered for those monitoring their diet.

Health Benefits

• Provides quick energy due to the high carbohydrate content from sugars and starches.
• Cocoa powder in the crumbs may offer small amounts of flavonoids, which have antioxidant properties.
• Trace amounts of iron can be present from cocoa powder, supporting oxygen transportation in the body.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten, wheat, milk, soy (if included in chocolate)

Suitable for: Vegetarian

Not suitable for: Vegan (due to potential butter or milk in the recipe), gluten-free, low-carb diets, dairy-free

Selection and Storage

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption. For longer storage, consider freezing the crumbs and thawing before use.
