About Oreo

Oreos are a type of sandwich cookie consisting of two chocolate wafers with a sweet cream filling in between. First introduced by the Nabisco company in 1912, Oreos are now one of the most popular packaged cookies worldwide. Originating in the United States, Oreos are often associated with desserts and casual snacking. Nutritionally, a typical serving (100g) provides approximately 470 calories, primarily from carbohydrates and fats, with moderate levels of protein and fiber. Notable micronutrients include small amounts of calcium and iron, although they do not significantly contribute to daily intake requirements due to their processed nature and high sugar content.
