Hidden Calorie Bombs" in Biscuits
Jul 30,2025

Ordinary-looking biscuits may actually be "hidden calorie bombs". On average, the fat content of biscuits is as high as 20%, and some products even reach 33g/100g. Eating 6 biscuits may make you consume half of the recommended daily fat intake. Many biscuits add a lot of sugar to improve the taste, at least 15%. For example, a chocolate sandwich biscuit may contain as much sugar as half a can of cola. The salt content of salty biscuits is also not to be underestimated, as 10 pieces can be close to the recommended daily salt intake. The calorie of ordinary biscuits is 450-550kcal/100g, which is far more than that of rice. Cookies and whole grain biscuits, etc., have higher calories because more oil is added to improve the taste. After high-temperature baking, biscuits have a crispy and fragile texture, which can stimulate the brain to produce a sense of pleasure. In addition, sugar and salt cover each other's tastes, making it easy for people to consume too much unconsciously. Moreover, they are lack of dietary fiber and protein, digest quickly, and easily form a vicious circle of "eating more → getting fatter".
