Digestive Biscuits

Cultural Context

Digestive biscuits originated in Scotland in the 19th century, initially created as a digestive aid due to the use of baking soda. They quickly became a popular snack in British tea culture, often enjoyed with tea or coffee. Today, they are loved worldwide and come in various flavors, including chocolate-covered varieties.
