About Oreo crumb

Oreo crumbs are finely crushed pieces of the classic Oreo cookie, originating from the United States in the early 20th century as a popular dessert ingredient. Widely used in Western cuisines, Oreo crumbs are a versatile component in baking, offering a distinct chocolatey flavor with a creamy undertone. Nutritionally, Oreo crumbs are high in carbohydrates with added sugars, containing minimal protein and fats. They are low in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, primarily serving as a flavor-enhancing component rather than a nutrient-dense food. A 14-gram serving (about 2 tablespoons) contains approximately 70 calories, 3 grams of fat, 10 grams of carbohydrates, and 4 grams of sugar. Due to their processed nature, Oreo crumbs should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
