Hi Friends,
Here we will try to give you the genuine review
of the products available over the counter in the market. Here is our first
attempt for the same and will try our best to give you the healthy options
available ready-made. I always check the label before buying any eatable or
cosmetics which we are going to consume or apply on the skin. So I thought why
not to share it with everyone. The products we are reviewing today are :

REVIEW
Hello Healthies,

DIETARY FIBRE 0.45 g 5.4 g
Our Experience -
This is a good
option with tea or coffee in the evening. You can have one or two in between the
main meal to satisfy your small hunger pangs( but HEAD (Health, Exercise And
Diet) always suggests dry fruits and nuts for this purpose). As it has
good fibre content so it will make you feel fuller in just two biscuits. This biscuit
tastes good but is too soft and easily crumbled (as can be seen in the picture). They are little salty and
without any artificial colors and flavors. You can try it once but as they break
so easily you can store it only in a container. I found the price reasonable
for the size of the pack. Definitely this is not going to be the children’s
pick as it is nor sweet in taste neither crunchy. Zero Trans Fat (Why To Avoid Trans Fat - Read Here)
and zero cholesterol make itself more desirable to me in snacks .
Shelf Life
Best before 6 months from packaging

Our Experience -
This is a good
option with tea or coffee in the evening especially for those who like sweet
and salty taste.You can have one or two in between the main meal to satisfy your
small hunger pangs ( but HEAD (Health, Exercise And Diet) always suggests dry
fruits and nuts for this purpose). As it has good fibre contents, oatmeal and bran too, that will make you feel fuller in small portion. 100 gm of this biscuit covers almost 25% of recommended daily
intake of sodium (this would be the extra sodium you are taking ). The price is
reasonable for the size of the pack. Their taste is more towards the salty side. Zero Trans
Fat (WhyTo Avoid Trans Fat - Read Here) and zero cholesterol adds this biscuit here in our
