About Jammie dodgers

Jammie Dodgers are a British biscuit made from shortbread with a jam filling, often raspberry or strawberry flavored. Created in the United Kingdom, they are typically enjoyed as a sweet snack or paired with tea. These biscuits are primarily composed of refined flour, sugar, and vegetable fats, making them energy-dense but low in micronutrients. A typical serving size contains significant carbohydrates for quick energy but offers little protein, fiber, or essential vitamins and minerals. They are an example of a processed food with added sugars and fats, contributing to their rich flavor and extended shelf-life.

Health Benefits

• Provides quick energy due to high carbohydrate content (primarily simple sugars).
• Low-sodium snack option compared to many savory processed foods.
• Can boost mood temporarily due to sugar-induced serotonin release.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat, gluten, soy

Not suitable for: Gluten-free diets, low-sugar diets, vegan diets (if butter or non-vegan ingredients are used)

Selection and Storage

Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container to maintain freshness and prevent texture changes.
