Classification of biscuits

Biscuits are divided into soda biscuits, graham crackers, digestive biscuits, sandwich biscuits, nutrition-fortified biscuits, etc.

1. Soda biscuit: Soda biscuit is made by adding yeast to a part of wheat flour, mixing it into dough, adding the remaining wheat flour after a long period of fermentation, and shaping it after a short period of fermentation.

2. Whole wheat and digestive biscuits: Whole wheat and digestive biscuits are biscuits made by grinding wheat without bran into flour, which are darker in color and coarser in taste than refined flour without bran. For example, Fuqiang flour, which we usually eat, has higher nutritional value because it retains a lot of vitamins, minerals and cellulose.

3. Sandwich biscuits: The key to making sandwich biscuits with different flavors is to add different auxiliary materials, such as oil, sugar, milk, eggs, jam and other flavors. The fat content of ordinary biscuits is not high, but with sandwiches, the fat and sugar content increase obviously, becoming a high-calorie food. The calories of 100g steamed bread are about 226 kilocalories (945 kilojoules), while the calories of 100g biscuits are more than 1 times higher than steamed bread! When making biscuits, fat and sugar are added to flour, which is very high in calories, especially biscuits and sweet and crisp sandwich biscuits.

4. Nutritional fortified biscuits: The most common varieties are fortified minerals and vitamins, such as calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin D and so on. Some also added wheat bran, which is the increase of dietary fiber. Like pizza biscuits, five cereals, red beans, black beans, black rice, purple potatoes and corn, are selected to increase dietary fiber. At the same time, the surface is sprinkled with cranberries, blueberries and bergamot. Cranberries contain vitamin C, blueberries contain anthocyanins, and bergamot is homologous in medicine and food. While enjoying the delicious food, I also gained more health.
