🍪 McVITIE’S DIGESTIVES (The Original Wheat Biscuit)
McVitie’s Digestives are the iconic, best-loved British biscuits, famous globally for their distinctive, slightly salty-sweet flavour and satisfying crunch.
The term “Whole Wheat” or “Wheat” in the context of the Original Digestives refers to the fact that they are made with a blend of wheat flours, including wholemeal wheat flour, which is a key component of their unique taste and texture.
Key Product Features:
Wholemeal Goodness: The biscuits are made with 70% Wheat & Wholemeal ingredients, making them a good source of fibre, which is the historical reason they were named “Digestives.”
Signature Flavour: They have a balanced taste that is subtly sweet with a hint of salt, which makes them highly versatile.
Texture: Known for their satisfyingly crumbly texture, especially after being “dunked” in tea or coffee.
Versatile Use: Perfect for enjoying on their own, pairing with tea, or using as a base for cheesecakes and other desserts.
Ingredients Note: The Original Digestives are often suitable for vegetarians and vegans as they do not typically contain milk as an active ingredient, though they may carry a warning of potentially containing milk due to production lines. (Always check the packaging for the most current allergen information.)
