About Okinawa biscuit

Okinawa Biscuits are a traditional snack originating from Okinawa, Japan, known for their simplicity and nostalgic flavor. Made from basic ingredients like wheat flour, sugar, lard, and salt, these biscuits are light, crumbly, and subtly sweet, perfect for pairing with tea or coffee. Reflecting Okinawa's culinary heritage, they embody the region's emphasis on straightforward, wholesome recipes. While they are low in cholesterol due to the absence of butter, their use of lard contributes to saturated fat content, making moderation key. With no artificial additives or preservatives, they can be considered a minimally processed snack. However, as they contain refined carbohydrates and added sugar, they should be enjoyed sparingly as part of a balanced diet. Often celebrated for their nostalgic and rustic charm, Okinawa Biscuits offer a delightful taste of Japan’s southernmost islands with a touch of mindful indulgence.
