Eating biscuits in moderation has certain benefits. For example, they can provide energy. Each 100 grams of biscuits contains about 400-500 kcal of calories, which can quickly relieve hunger. Whole wheat or oatmeal biscuits, which contain complex carbohydrates, are digested and absorbed slowly, making them suitable for snacks. Eating them before and after exercise can prevent hypoglycemia, and pairing them with milk or nuts can enhance satiety. Some fortified biscuits can also supplement trace elements such as iron, calcium, and B vitamins. For example, calcium milk biscuits can meet 15% of the daily calcium requirement. In addition, biscuits made of buckwheat, rye, etc., are rich in dietary fiber and can promote intestinal peristalsis. However, when eating, it should be noted that the daily intake is recommended to be controlled within 50 grams. Choose varieties where the first three ingredients in the ingredient list are whole wheat flour and oatmeal, and avoid biscuits with trans fatty acids such as shortening. Special groups such as children and pregnant women are advised to consult a nutritionist before eating.

The Origin and Development of Biscuits
Biscuits can be traced back to as early as 3000 BC in the Mesopotamian Plain in Europe. At that time, people made wheat flour into an unfermented bread shape, baked it twice to make "toasted bread slices" that were easy to preserve, which was the prototype of biscuits. The purpose was to extend the storage time of food without losing the nutrients of grains, and it could also be soaked in water and crushed to make beer. Later, the ancient Greeks also had a similar way of preserving bread. During the Roman period, biscuits became rations for slaves, refugees, and the army. The Romans called them "panis biscoctus", which later evolved into "biscuit" in English. It was not until the Arabs added sucrose to biscuit ingredients in the 9th century that the taste of biscuits was greatly improved. With the spread of sucrose, biscuits gradually evolved from a dessert for the upper class to a popular afternoon tea snack.
