About Plain digestive
Plain Digestive biscuits are a classic snack originating from the United Kingdom, traditionally enjoyed with tea or as a base for desserts. Made from simple ingredients like wholemeal flour, sugar, vegetable oil, and sometimes a touch of baking soda, they offer a mildly sweet and buttery taste with a hearty texture. Their name reflects their original intent, as they were designed in the 19th century to aid digestion, partly due to their high fiber content from wholemeal flour. While they provide some dietary fiber and energy, Digestives are relatively high in refined carbohydrates, sugars, and fats, making them a treat best enjoyed in moderation. They are versatile, easy to pair with spreads or toppings, and have remained a staple in households for their comforting simplicity and cultural nostalgia. However, those monitoring sugar or calorie intake may want to opt for healthier alternatives or limit portion sizes.
