5 Tasty Biscuit Options For Snacks or Teatime

5 Tasty Biscuit Options For Snacks or Teatime

Biscuits are considered to have gotten their name from the French word for biscuit, which is ‘bis’ translating to “twice” and coquere which means to cook. The reason for their name comes from their cooking technique. They are cooked and then dried within ovens. The whole world uses the biscuit term, except in the US where biscuits are referred to as softer bread-like products that are baked once.

A Biscuit box is a hassle-free snack or breakfast option. Whenever you are hungry, just open up a pack of biscuits and start munch to your heart's content. You can eat biscuits anywhere and on the go as well. Biscuits are a feasible alternative for those in a rush and who are unable to get a complete meal to start their day. Although this habit of munching on biscuits isn't a novel idea, it's a habit instilled in us when we are quite young!
