- Digestive biscuits originated in the UK and go as far back as 1876.
- The term 'digestive' is derived from the belief that they had antacid properties due to the use of sodium bicarbonate when they were first developed.
- The main ingredients in a digestive biscuit are wheat flour, sugar, malt extract, vegetable oil, wholemeal, raising agents (baking soda) and salt.
- Digestive biscuits are also the saltiest biscuits. Three with a cup of tea supply as much sodium.
