CALORIES
GI
POTASSIUM
FIBER
2 piece (medium) of Whole Wheat Biscuit (28 g) has 120 calories. That works out to 430 calories per 100 g. It contains 19 g of carbs, 2.4 g of protein, 3.8 g of fat and 2.1 g of fiber. Its 0.3 mg of Manganese covers 13% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 55 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
A whole wheat biscuit is a baked, usually packaged snack made with whole wheat flour. Bran flecks give it a speckled look, and recipes may also include sugar and fat. In English, “biscuit” can mean different things by region; this one is the crisp, cookie-like kind, not a soft savoury scone-style biscuit.
Its dry, crumbly crunch works well with tea or coffee, or as a simple snack on the go. Whole wheat flour contributes fibre, though the biscuit still provides plenty of carbohydrate and some fat, so it is best treated as a snack rather than a health food. Pair it with fruit or plain yoghurt for a more filling break, and keep an eye on how many you reach for.

Whole wheat biscuits can provide more fibre than biscuits made with refined flour, but they are still a snack food. Their sugar and fat content varies by recipe, so “whole wheat” alone does not make a biscuit a particularly nutritious choice.
Whole wheat biscuits can fit into a weight-loss eating plan, but they do not cause weight loss. Their fibre may make them more satisfying than some refined-flour biscuits, yet they are easy to overeat; portion them rather than snacking straight from the packet.
Yes, whole wheat biscuits can raise blood sugar because they contain digestible carbohydrates. Whole wheat flour does not prevent that response, and recipes differ in added sugar; pairing a portion with yogurt or another protein-rich food may make a snack more filling.
Often, whole wheat biscuits contain more fibre than regular biscuits made with refined flour. That does not automatically make them lower in sugar or fat, so compare the ingredients and choose based on what you want from a snack.
Whole wheat biscuits can contribute some fibre, which supports regular bowel movements when you also drink enough fluid. They are not a reliable treatment for constipation; include fibre from foods such as fruit, vegetables, beans, and whole grains as well.
You can make whole wheat biscuits by combining whole wheat flour with a fat, a little liquid, and any sweetener your recipe calls for. Roll the dough thin, cut it into shapes, and bake until crisp; reducing the sweetener makes them less sweet.
Yes, some people with diabetes can include whole wheat biscuits in a measured portion, but the whole-grain flour does not stop them affecting blood sugar. Check the carbohydrate and sugar information for the specific product and follow your individual meal plan.
Whole wheat biscuits pair well with tea, coffee, or milk, and can also be topped with nut butter or cheese for a more satisfying snack. Choose toppings that suit your tastes, since sweet spreads can add more sugar.
Babies should not be given whole wheat biscuits simply because they contain whole grains. Many are crisp or hard and may pose a choking risk, while added sugar and salt vary; choose age-appropriate foods and supervise eating closely.
Store whole wheat biscuits in an airtight container in a cool, dry place after opening. Exposure to moisture makes them lose their crisp texture; follow any storage directions on the packet and discard biscuits that smell or look spoiled.
