About Nice biscuits
Nice biscuits are a type of sweet, rectangular cookie named after the city of Nice in France. They are a beloved snack in British cuisine and are characterized by a crunchy texture and a light coconut flavor. Typically sprinkled with sugar crystals, these biscuits are considered a treat rather than a significant source of nutrition. They are primarily composed of refined flour, sugar, and butter, making them rich in carbohydrates and fats while low in protein and essential micronutrients. Each biscuit generally contains approximately 40-50 kcal, depending on the brand, with small amounts of fiber and negligible vitamins or minerals.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy due to its carbohydrate content, making it a convenient snack in moderation.
- The presence of coconut adds a trace amount of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which may provide fast-acting energy.
- Offers a small amount of dietary fiber, dependent on the brand, which can support digestive health to a limited extent.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store Nice biscuits in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to preserve their crunch and prevent them from going stale.
