Biscuit

Biscuit is a small baked snack or tea-time item common in many cuisines, especially British and European baking traditions, typically enjoyed plain or with spreads. It provides some quick carbohydrates and a modest amount of protein, but is relatively high in saturated fat at 11.8g per 100g and usually low in fiber. As a manufactured snack it is often an ultra-processed product with limited micronutrients or protective plant compounds, although the protein present tends to have a reasonably complete amino acid pattern compared with many pure carbohydrate snacks.
