About Square biscuit

Square biscuits are baked goods typically made from flour, sugar, butter, and a leavening agent, originating from European cuisines and enjoyed globally as a snack or dessert. They are characterized by their crisp texture and mild sweetness. Nutritionally, square biscuits are primarily a source of carbohydrates, often providing quick energy. However, they are usually low in essential vitamins and minerals, making them less nutrient-dense. Commercially produced biscuits may contain added fats and sugars, contributing to their calorie content. Homemade versions can be modified to include whole grains or reduced sugar for slightly improved nutritional value.

Can I eat square biscuits on a keto diet?

Are square biscuits healthy?

Square biscuits can be high in added sugars and refined carbs, which may contribute to blood sugar spikes and provide little nutritional value. Consuming them occasionally as a treat is fine, but they should not be a staple in a balanced diet.

How many square biscuits can I eat in one serving?

A typical serving of square biscuits is 1-2 pieces, which usually contains approximately 150-200 calories. Portion control is important as they are calorie-dense and may contribute to excess calorie intake if eaten in large quantities.

How do square biscuits compare to similar snacks like crackers?

Square biscuits tend to be sweeter and higher in sugar compared to crackers, which are usually savory and lower in sugar but may still contain similar amounts of refined carbs. Crackers might be a better option for those looking for a less sweet snack or aiming to avoid added sugars.
