About Oreo cookie crumbs

Oreo cookie crumbs are finely crushed pieces of the iconic Oreo cookies, first introduced by the American company Nabisco in 1912. They are a popular ingredient for desserts, such as cheesecakes, pie crusts, and ice cream toppings, often used in Western-style baking and cuisine. Nutritionally, Oreo cookie crumbs are high in carbohydrates and sugars due to their refined flour and sugar content. A typical 30-gram serving contains approximately 140 calories, 7 grams of fat, 21 grams of carbohydrates (with 13 grams of sugar), and 1 gram of protein. Oreo cookie crumbs are low in essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals and are considered a treat or indulgent ingredient rather than a nutritional staple.

Health Benefits

• Provides quick energy due to its sugar and carbohydrate content, though moderation is key.
• Contains small amounts of iron from enriched wheat flour, which supports oxygen transport in the body.
• May boost mood temporarily due to the sugar content stimulating dopamine production, though this is not a long-term benefit.
